So expect to hear some horror stories coming out in the next year or two blaming Labor even though no laws have changed.
The Liberals could have introduced explicit laws, but I suspect they didn't so Labor would be to blame.

There are still plenty of dubious family trust schemes, many of which aren't *explicitly* legal however there are plenty of catch all anti avoidance laws which people could be caught under.

Yeah, I've just opted for a hard block on those types of people now - they're not interested in debating, what's best for Australia or anything really, so not worth the time of day.

Family trusts are something that literally no political party (major or minor), independent, or journalists bring up. That's what needs to be addressed. I suspect they're afraid if they brought attention to it, people would literally each the rich.
