In response to Gotcha, or getting tax right?

CGT and negative gearing

Why didn’t Labor just say housing affordability is a problem from Howard’s inept policy to “stimulate economy”? Housing became a commodity for investors who, even now, crank up prices unrealistically, outbidding first home buyers, every time. Fancy new houses need fancy new contents, not EBay. Add privatisation, HECS, health, transport for disaster.
