  14. Breaking a promise on negative gearing is a calculated risk
    By Clare Armstrong

    If the reforms help younger Australians believe home ownership is within reach, Labor can expect to collect a political dividend.

  15. Will property tax changes level the playing field or raise the drawbridge?
    By Michael Janda

    There's no doubt that taking away negative gearing on existing properties will reduce the amount many investors can afford to pay, evening up the playing field for owner-occupiers. But these tax changes by themselves aren't a cure all.

  39. 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.
