@We_want_truth26 @bowtiedstocks @crushthemarket Where?

@betterfuture73 @bowtiedstocks @crushthemarket Nope. Tradies worked on towers of empty units of 'luxury' for years and it's about to collapse because nobody would be able to afford a rent on a 2m unit. It was all speculation Especially not the low IQs brought in

With 7% mortgage rates, assuming $1000 a week rent less agent fees the property needs to sell for around $650 too $700k to be neutrally geared approx.

@We_want_truth26 @bowtiedstocks @crushthemarket Fantasy

@bowtiedstocks @crushthemarket 50% is my general rule for SE Qld. Each time I see a property advertised for a win by one of the art unions, rsl etc it's always needs about 50% vs rent

@JeremyPoxon Really dumb take. What do you make of the huge Companies that treat, food, water, medicine, power, gas etc like an “asset class”? If there is no investment in a sector, it doesn’t happen

"The government is right to wind back a system where taxpayers spend billions lining the pockets of those who treat housing like an asset class, not a basic need" 🫡 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@DrCameronMurray Show us a chart that proves that supply and demand dynamics no longer apply. BTW, most normal people don’t blame the migrants who have come here and got a Govt. Incentive to buy a home. They blame traitorous Govts who have undemocratically and surreptitiously migrated millions

This is a sign of unserious tribal nonsense. Who is blaming individual migrants for following our own migration rules? People are blaming their politicians for not regulating immigration to maximise benefits for existing residents.

@mormorlady So then you could claim what you lost gambling?

LNP planning to introduce a TAX on winnings Lotto Lottery Casino Racing I Can see this being really popular 🥴

@dodona777 I don’t understand your argument Companies profit on food water and basic medical care. That is every bit, if not more important than housing. Where is the outcry against that? Companies and Investors need to profit off housing, otherwise it doesn’t happen. That is a fact of life

So, what's wrong with getting rid of negative gearing so that people can buy a HOME discouraging those who want to buy houses for profit? A home is essential. An investment in a house is not essential. It can be seen as greed.

@Markyles @GibberCapital Property was sold by Auction “back in the day” too. It’s the most transparent method for the market price to be determined. There is no RRP for real estate. You can’t control how much a Vendor should accept just the same as you can’t for what a Buyer should pay.

@GibberCapital Ok … take your advice. Back in the day houses were advertised with set price sales. Buyers negotiated lower prices and sales became a compromise. That also happens now. But you’re saying that just lends itself to the seller manipulating buyers and that doesn’t happen in auctions

Would be home owners have been outbid at auction by investors with very long pockets. That may be turning around thanks to cgt proposals. But what would happen if auctions were scrapped for domestic residences and simply sold with a set price?

@gt65dusk @TopherField For starters there will be less supply as developers won’t have the confidence to bring more stock to market. That will create more demand, even if sale prices are suppressed, there will be more competition for rentals. Immigration will continue, fuelling demand.

@TopherField Why would rents spike if all properties currently negative geared are grandfathered in and won't change? Investors aren't buying and first home buyers might be holding off, hoping for bigger falls.

It's amazing to watch people celebrate this as if it's proof that the changes to housing taxation are working. Lowered clearance rates means no one bought... it doesn't mean a first home buyer bought. Yes it might lead to a softening of demand which will then mean a few more first home buyers get a house, that's likely in some small way... but for the REST of the renters who either: 1. don't have a deposit 2. don't have serviceability 3. want to rent for lifestyle / location / flexibility reasons it's going to be VERY bad. Expect rents to spike in the next 18 months between now and the election, irrespective of what happens with house prices.

@DougCameron51 Corrupt. How does she explain her Property Portfolio?

@allwright99 @IFM_Economist Yea, I think that’s the point. The Marjet is crying out for motivated young participants in a range of sectors.

@betterfuture73 @IFM_Economist I know my 18yo son isn’t really looking for work I think the saying is necessity is the mother of all invention How many 15 year olds (or older) chose employment/unemployment with real consequence ? It’s hardly as if they’re choosing or eligible for jobseeker or youth assistance

The kids aren't alright. Youth unemployment edges over 11% leading the overall unemployment rate higher.

@allwright99 @IFM_Economist It sounds like a high number of young people are unemployed, that is not my experience. Anyone who wants a job can get one as far as I can see.

@betterfuture73 @IFM_Economist Hard to know.. Employment is 1 hour paid work a week Unemployment is also Without work in reference wk Actively searching for work in the four wks prior Available to start in the reference wk So how many ft education, seeking pt/casual? Work for lifestyle vs have to for living

@bowtiedstocks Yeah because people will pile their money into a sharemarket that’s fairly valued? People will not need housing because of AI? The Govt will stop mass immigration? Construction costs will come down? Govt overspending and inflation with money printing will come down?

Unemployment heading up I've observed the propadee bulls have become much less vocal now...funny that...

@CraigSarg73 I have not had 1 Labor shill able to tell me why overtaxing a 19 year starting to invest in shares and prevented from rentvesting helps inter generational in equity. Here is your chance

Outrage about the Budget I’ve been watching the reaction to the Budget, especially the panic around negative gearing and capital gains tax changes. And the louder the outrage gets, the more it feels like Labor may have actually hit a nerve in the right place. The biggest critics are exactly who you’d expect — the LNP, property lobby groups, and sections of the media that treat investor tax concessions like they’re untouchable. Yet despite all the hysteria, the housing market hasn’t collapsed, the economy hasn’t imploded, and most Australians won’t pay a cent more tax under these changes. Funny thing is, I haven’t heard much from Pauline Hanson either. Maybe it flew under the radar, or maybe Gina told her to keep quiet. Either way, the silence says plenty. What’s happening now was always predictable. Any attempt to reform tax settings around housing was guaranteed to trigger a fear campaign — not because the policy is necessarily bad, but because it challenges something the LNP has treated as sacred for decades: generous tax concessions for investors. That’s why the reaction is so loud. The strategy is simple — scare people into believing that fairness is dangerous, and convince ordinary Australians that asking investors to pay tax on real gains instead of inflation-adjusted windfalls will somehow destroy the country. But politically, Labor’s timing may actually work in its favour. There are still two years until the next election. By then, the reforms will have settled in, markets will have adjusted, and the scare campaign will have lost momentum. Most Australians are more worried about rent, mortgages, wages and the cost of living than whether an investor loses part of a tax discount. So yes, the noise is loud. But noise and real-world impact are not the same thing. #budget #auspol

@purplepingers The Agent works for the Landlord and is there to manage their interests. They must do so in accordance with the relevant States guidelines. An Agent who refunded the Bond prior to a final inspection would be a fool and likely get terminated by their Client.

@DougCameron51 Sorry, whose lies? The profiteering is happening through your overfunded bullshit programs benefiting fat cat bureaucrats and corrupt politicians. There is no reason to over tax young people trying to get ahead by investing

Labor must be far more articulate and aggressive in defending the CGT and -ve gearing changes. Call out the Tory lies, explain the facts and condemn blatant extortion and profiteering. Landlords who rip renters off should be exposed. Stop pretending the “market” is the answer.

@purplepingers How much tax do you pay?

Hue and cry over maybe having to pay a little tax as a treat

@GreenTyler27 The Labor Hacks and Flunkies are trying to pass those opposing these changes as rich boomers, saying that they are opposed to inter generational equity. Extreme gaslighting. The young are the biggest losers out of this. I hope they figure that out and vote accordingly

Facts are facts. Anthony and co have made wealth creation for under 40’s in Australia even harder. The longer they take to wheel these CGT changes back, the more seats they deliver to One Nation at the coming federal election. Tick tock labor. Do you think they will walk them back, or double down even harder?

@Kate3015 Rich people have not been hurt by these changes. Young people getting overcharged on growing their share portfolio and not able to get into the market by rentvesting are the biggest losers. That is the hypocrisy of Keating and his wannabe clone

They’re NOT listening the ‘howls’ are not just coming from wealthy investors they’re coming from every demographic. Keating lashes ‘howls’ of wealthy investors as he backs CGT changes afr.com/policy/tax-and…

@honmattkean What utter garbage. Nothing that Australia does will make any difference cost wise.

You can’t be a good economic manager in 2026 without being a climate realist. APRA’s modelling is clear: climate inaction means household incomes up to 20% lower, persistent inflation & higher interest rates. Ignore climate and you’ll pay for it. 🔥 theaustralian.com.au/nation/inactio…
