Deputy Liberal leader Jane Hume has called a proposal to limit negative gearing to two investment properties \u201cridiculous\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is it that every single problem that Australia has today can be solved by Labor through taxing it? This is ridiculous. If you tax something, you get less of it,\u201d Hume told Sunrise.<\/p>\n

Treasury is modelling the measure as an option for reform in the May budget, according to The Australian.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m a landlord and you tax me more, I\u2019m going to push the rents up,\u201d she said. Asked about the argument that limiting negative gearing \u2013 an incentive that allows investors to offset property costs against income \u2013 would free up housing supply for first home buyers, Hume said increasing supply by building more homes was the answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know that supply is the problem in housing. It\u2019s not how much you\u2019re taxed. And all this\u2026 flying of kites around this tax, and that tax \u2013 this is just Labor paving the way to increase taxes on Australians,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Mark Butler would not weigh in on how seriously the reform was being considered, but reiterated the government was committed to levelling the playing field for younger Australians.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we head into the 10 weeks leading into the budget, there\u2019s a veritable tsunami of articles speculating about what we might or might not be considering,\u201d he said, appearing alongside Hume on Sunrise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been very clear about our tax policies. We\u2019ve been clear about our housing policies\u2026 but we\u2019ve also been clear that we think there is an issue around young Australians going to a fair break, breaking into the housing system.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deputy Liberal leader Jane Hume has called a proposal to limit negative gearing to two investment properties \u201cridiculous\u201d.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":506228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44],"class_list":["post-506227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
