Why ? People are doing it to avoid tax, dumping huge numbers of industrialial properties, houses or farms into their SMSF. Once again to AVOID tax, so fuck 'em. All of that penalises young people who then have a higher tax burden now.

They want to pass that on to people in the next generation and they’re not going to pay any tax on it because the value is never realised, the gain is never realised."
If you want to tax capital gains over $3 million then do it, but taxing unrealised capital gains is taxing on gains that haven’t materialised, hence they are “unrealised” and I think that’s stupid, whether it be for $10 or $10 million
I think the idea is that it stops rich AF people using their super to store wealth by sitting on assets and instead forces them to use super to invest, which can actually help the economy.
taxing “unrealised capital gains” is stupid though
