To hell with the Liberals.

What have the Liberals & their Coalition partner (is it on or off today?) the Nationals ever done for Australia?

They govern primarily for corporate Australia & as such they are incapable of providing balanced governance, unlike Labor.

CGT discount options include a return to the pre-Howard era The news | The Albanese government is considering the option of returning to the much-less generous arrangement of the Keating era to reduce the 50 per cent capital gains discount for investors to the rate of inflation. Behind the scenes | Sources familiar with deliberations said all options were being looked at, including the inflation calculation. They stressed nothing had been settled yet, let alone taken to cabinet. But if, for example, the inflation option was adopted, the deduction on an asset held for 12 months could drop from 50 per cent to around 3.8 per cent which is the current headline rate of inflation.

Originally Coorey story had if CGT was changed to the old way of just accounting for inflation, that it could mean the discount could drop from 50% to 3.8% (the current inflation)

And well no. That's not how you calculate real gains.
