Australia targets wealth inequality with trust tax hikes and aged care reforms

Australia's budget targets intergenerational wealth inequality through tax policy changes including a 30 percent minimum tax on discretionary trusts and negative gearing restrictions from July 2027. Treasurer Jim Chalmers redirected $3 billion from private health insurance subsidies toward aged care, adding 5,000 beds yearly. The overhaul aims to improve housing affordability and workplace support for carers across generations.
