    This could just be the naivety in me, but surely at this rate, we get to a point where people can’t afford rents and mortgages and everyone defaults.

    The rich clearly learn nothing from the past??

    I’d really love Labor to have some balls here and actually go through with it rather than pander to the 1%.

  2. Every boomer/coalition voter with no investment properties: get your grubby hands off my capital gains discount 😡

  3. I know this is satire but I wonder if Labor leaked this move on CG and are now doing polling on it. I hope it happens but I’m not holding my breath.

    Of course.

    Because the media, political and business establishments are making big $$$ off of an innately destructive policy.

    With our intergenerational wealth and rent seeking combined.. we summon captain Murdoch 

  6. I wonder if all the boomers kept their “ditch the witch” CGT banners from all those years ago

  7. There is no serious conversation about Australia’s housing crisis that doesn’t start with recognising that the capital gains tax discount + negative gearing death spiral has to be axed.

    It simply *must* happen, or the problem will **never** go away.

  8. Because fuck everyone except the property hoarders seems to be the Australian way these days

    If you look into the capital gains tax discount it absolutely takes the piss. It directly fuels property speculation

    they’ll do anything and everything to stop anything touching property tax breaks and bonuses, it is the best vehicle to leverage and at the same avoid taxes legally which is why the wealthy love it

    and when you hold it long enough, there are no taxes 😉

  11. I wish Labor government would go further and only allow negative gearing for the first IP, and do claw back on every rental
