AFR article arguing most individual capital gains do not come from property

“Less than 40 per cent of capital gains earned by individuals come from property ... A bit over 60 per cent ... come from ASX-listed shares, managed funds, trusts and other assets.”

The article presents this as an analysis of ATO statistics, but the visible card excerpt does not itself expose the underlying calculation table.
