Welcome back to The CEO Breakdown with John Saade.
Labor’s major Budget tax reforms have moved through Parliament, and the fallout is still unfolding.
In this episode, John breaks down what has changed, who wins, who loses, and why business owners, investors, buyers agents and property commentators are reacting so strongly.
John covers negative gearing, CGT reform, trust taxation, SMSF residential property borrowing, NDIS negotiations, small business concessions, the widow tax backflip, and the ongoing confusion around what has actually changed.
He also reacts to commentary from property experts, buyers agents and finance creators, including housing affordability, falling property sentiment, the main residence exemption, SMSF investing, collectibles, and where some of the online panic is missing important context.
John then ranks the best and worst businesses to start in 2026, covering trades, professional services, real estate, buyers agencies, hospitality, health, NDIS, ecommerce, marketing, gyms, childcare and more.
Finally, John responds to viewer comments from last week’s episode, including whether housing should be treated as a human right first, whether accountants work for clients or the government, and whether the Budget could ultimately help first home buyers while hurting investors and small business owners.
If you have a question for John, leave it in the comments and we may answer it in the next episode.
