  3. This report reads like a Property Council press release rather than analysis. Falling prices in parts of Melbourne are framed as a crisis, when for decades the real crisis has been housing becoming completely unaffordable for ordinary people. Victoria is one of the few states actually trying to increase supply, tax speculation and take pressure off renters and first home buyers. Of course the property lobby hates that. Affordable housing is not a nightmare for the public, it is only a nightmare for investors and developers who rely on endless price inflation. A correction after years of excess is not failure, it is overdue.

  4. These two can’t both be true:

    On one hand, negative gearing is supposedly inconsequential to housing supply, rental stock, or renters.
    On the other, investor borrowing—supercharged by tax perks like negative gearing—is literally choking out first-time buyers from homeownership.
    And let’s not forget Victoria. Despite tougher land taxes and investor levies, there’s been no mass exodus of landlords and no collapse in rental availability. So much for the scare campaign that “reform will kill rentals.”

    One of these stories is full of it. And it’s not the one showing how investors are flooding the market.

    I wonder how many negatively-geared properties the author owns?

  5. This Sinclair Davidson op-ed* insists that scrapping negative gearing won’t solve the housing crisis—and is simply ideological fluff. It claims “reforming” the scheme won’t build a single home, won’t help a single renter, and will only make life tougher for “small investors,” while claiming state governments benefit from high prices via tax revenue and thus oppose affordability reform.

    But hold up—just next door, a Guardian headline reports property investors borrowed a record $130 billion in the year to June 2025. They’re hogging the market, pushing out first-time buyers—116,000 new FHB mortgages issued vs nearly 200,000 investor loans, the highest level for landlords since 2022.

  6. LYRICS: They say the more we build, the cheaper they'll be,
    and you could buy two flats to get the third one free.
    But its never that way the price only go higher,
    They print special dollars for so-called "#FirstHomeBuyers"

    It's a #boomer palooza,
    a #ponziMatchboxey.
    Lock it up and leave it,
    get that speculative #UBI(U-Bee).

    The #realEstate agent says its light, bright and airy, but I can't open a window just to hang their fu$king head through.

    PROPERTY DEVELOPERS MUST DIE
