And they keep telling us that removing negative won't increase supply then a simple solution is to limit negative gearing to brand new house and land packages instead of recycling the same old dumps that were built 50 years ago. This will encourage the property hoarders to invest in new houses which will increase supply. Problem solved, otherwise it is just a tax avoidance scheme for the non productive side of the economy who won't invest in anything else Sad

Perhaps you should seek to understand why "they" want to keep negative gearing before offering economic advice.

because the pollies are being paid to much and are paying too much tax Wink

That is not why.

How many economists do you know of who oppose negative gearing?

who gives a sh_t about negative gearing

its a minor contributor to land costs, much bigger contributors are too much immigration driven pop growth relative to the amount of supply and other things

that being said imagine trying to appeal to economists as a source on anything

DO economists back keeping negative gearing?

From your first article:

Quote:

The Housing Industry Association's chief economist Harley Dale disagreed.

"One of the principal arguments made by opponents of negative gearing is that it would supposedly magically unlock all this housing stock as it's offloaded and becomes available for first homebuyers," Mr Dale said.

"I don't think the world works in that simple naive manner."

Did you notice that Monk is desperately relying on ONE article that’s TEN years old AND riddled with disagreements by other economists AND has never been actioned by ANY government in office since?

Reply #51 - Jun 22^nd, 2023 at 8:59am Nothing desperate about it, larry dear. I did a search on “economists on negative gearing” and posted the first two. Enough to cast doubt on FD’s silly statement about economists wanting NG retained.

Drunk :

1. You googled.

2. You found something that’s almost 10 years old.

3. You are still to realise that it’s an opinion by an economist who hasn’t offered his name AND whose opinion has never gained traction by any party in Federal office.

4. You’re sitting there not realising how desperate and clueless you are.

Ok I have to ask ... how much alcohol have you drunk (to keep warm) this morning?

Meantime I think the rest of us will have to move on and do what we usually do ie leave you behind to continue fantasising about your boyfriend Larry.

Edit 1 : FYI Drunk .... it’s 2023.

Edit 2 : OMG .... you are reading/relying on something which a Bank of America economist stated back in 2014 ffs AND who was immediately debunked by Australian economists!

That is not why.

How many economists do you know of who oppose negative gearing?

Saul Eslake, Steve Keen, Grattan Institute...

And the payoff to the general public is lots of rental dumps they can never own Sad

But it's a supply issue Cheesy

LOL

Well - it's a pretty simple equation.... if it 'saves' money somewhere, then clearly that money must be going somewhere before the savings are put in place..... therefore it is a handout to those who least need it.

Bleed me a river about the 'mums and pops' investors who manage to sneak in under the corporates ...... there is not one argument left on this Earth to support both negative gearing for business and concessional tax on sale. Business must pay its way.

I slugged Chim Jalmers yesterday about his empty-headed comment that somehow 'baby boomers' were the root of all evil.... well, Jim - we are more than happy to remove your fancy salary and perks and super and make of you just another struggling baby boomer in retirement..... no problem, son. Twenty years in the gulag should struggle your thinking into the correct channels.... your kind of non-thinking must be isolated from the general community lest you infect weak minds....

This country desperately needs a new form of government - one where they cop $100k pa and costs on approved application, and such... and no amazing super fund funded by treasury at an exorbitant rate.

Let's see how many want the job then ................ you never met a poor retired politician...... azs someone said - we shouldn't be looking at the rich people who go into politics, but at the poor people who do that and come out rich. And all politicians and family must be strictly banned from participating in any 'ventures' funded by government...... how many have bought up packets of shares in the submarines repairs etc facilities already? Cool

Don't forget all the other issues I raised last night - not least the banks and their willingness to lend on a 'business plan' that is guaranteed by someone being forced to pay exorbitant rent, while making it hard for families to own their own home. Of course the banks and the government, many of the members own investment properties - want this bubble to continue and this imbalance to persist and perpetuate itself.... they can guarantee ever-increasing profits - and then they don't even want to pay tax on them when they sell them off.

Whenever I hear the trite phrase 'tax reform', that's my first port of call... that and business tax rules not shared by individuals (being based on the late 18th century when only the rich had a vote etc and the wherewithal to invest and thus made the rules - long overdue for change)..

You get where this country is off the rails? What did Hawkie do to us when he de-regulated the banks and loosed them upon the sleeping land...
