My broker deducted more CGT than before on my last sale. Did the rate change in the new budget?

Yes. The budget for FY 2083/84 raised capital gains tax for individual investors: Sold within one year of buying: 10% (was 7.5%) Held more than one year: 7.5% (was 5%) The government called these the final applicable rates.

So holding more than a year saves 2.5% of the profit. Another reason not to churn.
