@pauldotm the key thing is the link between higher prices and higher wages. The problem is that wage growth has not been happening as fast as inflation so there is actually no problem. There is no inflation spiral for the RBA to fix. Also, interest rates affect those with mortgages and there are far fewer of them than in the past. That means young families are being hit hardest.

What is really needed is tax reform and broadening the tax base again to include Gina Rinehart and her ilk.

Another banger from Greg Jericho in Grogonomics today: Labor's got the loudest rumors yet of finally tackling the 50% CGT discount & negative gearing ahead of the May budget. House prices keep skyrocketing (2.7% national jump Dec '25 qtr, 7.5% in WA!), juiced by demand-side handouts like the 5% deposit scheme. Time to stop turning the Australian dream into 'negatively gearing one' & make actual home ownership possible. Chalmers pushing reform, Albo hesitant? Do it properly this time.

Labor must stop juicing house prices and make buying a home the Australian dream – not negatively gearing one

The rumours of action on the capital gains tax discount and negative gearing are louder than before any budget this century. But is the PM up to the task?

The Guardian
Australia actually has more than enough houses, they’re just owned by investors

Over the past 10 years, the number of new homes has been growing faster than the population. Read that sentence again if you need to, but doing so won’t change the facts.
