The latest federal budget is shaping up to hit graziers harder than most realise. Changes around trust structures and capital gains tax could directly affect how you expand, restructure or hand the farm to the next generation.

◼️ How trust changes could trigger lending reviews and impact expansion

◼️ Why rising CGT exposure is forcing families to sell core assets

◼️ The finance strategy that keeps your operation flexible while policy shifts
