The Blog, The Press, The Media: Don't even whisper about impending property debacle
Recall the awkward truth blurted by Mark just-a-suburban-battler-boy Latham in a 2003 diary entry: the combination of negative gearing, the halving of capital gains tax, high top marginal income tax rates and the end of the stockmarket boom has sent the property market in this country out of control - a spiv's paradise. It's good economic policy to do something about it. But a hairy proposition politically.

Ozblogger The Daily Flute crudely sums up the Coalition's line: 1. Make more money from property; 2. Have a bung (bribe) for buying a property; 3. Borrow shitloads at low interest rates. They won't go up while we're around. And Labor's? 1. Make more money from property; 2. Have a bung for buying property; 3. Interest rates are going up. Be scared. This makes Labor almost as crap as the Coalition on housing policy, reckons Flute, and they're missing the main game.
