Ah I see, I've heard of the Grandfathering, I didn't think that meant they could continue to negative gear their stuff for the rest of their lives, shouldn't it cut out at some point?
I do mostly only listen to mainstream media, but from different political spectrums. I listen to The Guardian, Reuters, ABC News and Sky News
Where else can you get News that's actually trustworthy? I don't care for the Alex Jones/Destiny/Friendlyjordies/Punters politics types where I just have to trust that some guy has done all the necessary research and fact checking to trust them.
The idea is that people have built their retirement using these policies and given so much time has passed with them in place, its unlikely they'd have many working years left to change strategies. So the cut out is literally their death.
I enjoy the articles at https://michaelwest.com.au/ The editor was an ex-mainstream (I wanna say SMH?) journalist. I like them because they are quite evidence based. They have YouTube too but that is mostly just opinions going over the articles they have published.
https://independentaustralia.net/ seem to have a good repetition, but I personally don't tend to find many articles that interest me.
