  • How the CGT & Indexation Reforms Could Impact Your Property Portfolio | My Bui

    How the CGT & Indexation Reforms Could Impact Your Property Portfolio | My Bui
    Jun 8 2026

    Most property investors are focused on what the Federal Budget changes mean for their portfolio. But are the headlines telling the full story?


    In this episode, we're joined by My Bui, Economist at AMP Investments, to break down one of the biggest property tax shake-ups Australia has seen in decades. My cuts through the misinformation surrounding capital gains tax, negative gearing, borrowing capacity, interest rates, and housing supply, explaining what these changes actually mean for investors, renters, and first-home buyers.


    We explore whether the market is really under threat, why Australia's housing shortage remains the biggest driver of long-term growth, and how investors can adapt their strategies in a changing environment. We also discuss Melbourne's outlook, rental pressures, future rate cuts, and why focusing on fundamentals, not fear, may be the key to long-term success.


    Episode Takeaways:

    ✅ Why property fundamentals matter more than tax changes

    ✅ How the Federal Budget could impact investors and renters

    ✅ Why Australia's housing shortage still supports long-term growth

    ✅ How borrowing capacity changes may affect investment strategies

    ✅ Why smart investors focus on opportunity, not fear
