The capital gains tax and negative gearing having a literal impact on prices, causing house prices to fall in a way we haven't seen for many years that's actually helping housing affordability.
And yet we've still got the Liberal Party saying, Oh, the best way to solve housing affordability is to let people use their super.
And it's like, you know, it's this case of uh they're ignoring the actual signs in the housing market at the
moment and and still just going on this attack on superannuation.
I mean the the irony is of course there's lots of problems with superannuation and yet whenever there are attacks on superannuation it only really gets criticized if it's an attack on the tax breaks that go to the richest.
You know we saw last year the the government trying to do something on superannuation
superannuation balances of more than three million dollars.
That was attacked as a death tax, as hitting people's inheritance, even though it affected maybe point one percent of people with super.
Whereas these these policies that are essentially going to ruin or at least uh worsen the retirement for people on low and middle incomes, they're regarded, oh, this is a common sense kind of plan.
Well, because look at who's proposing it and we're talking essentially the conservative political parties, whether or not you want to call one nation conservative.
One nation are doing it purely because it's a populist policy that looks like they're helping people, whereas they're not actually putting any pressure on businesses to do anything.
And the Liberal Party are doing it because they know it's not going to affect anyone that they really care about.
You know, they're saying, Yeah, do whatever you want with super.
It'll also will help house prices.
Well, that's great.
That that's certainly what they're all about is trying to increase house prices and increase wealth of the wealthiest.
And they're saying, Let's do that, but let's make sure we don't touch those those tax breaks that are going to the richest.
And it's just a I think really highlights the
The inequality that is riven throughout our polity.
Whereas, you know, when we're talking about changes to superannuation that will affect the very, very richest 1%, the wealthiest 1%, that's painted as being a horror show of destruction, death tax, and terrible stuff.
