⌛️🧮 Bruce Carnwell (🐣 & 🌴)<p>Oh dear Bridget <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/BridgetMcKenzie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BridgetMcKenzie</span></a>, I suspect that the register of pecuniary interests is fairly sparse about the of the number of rental properties that you partly own, as it is for all our federal politicians. Would that number be closer to 15 maybe? And this is perfectly fine, but in honesty, if you weren’t able to negative gear the interest costs on those loans, you would probably put quite a few on the market, which would make them available for first home buyers, don’t you agree? You own these houses on the basis of achieving capital gains, which is by definition, part of the feedback loop that leads to an increase in housing prices! <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/HousingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HousingCrisis</span></a> By the way, I also believe that we need to increase supply, by building social and community housing.</p>
