There is no net benefit. Zero. Every five years you reinvent Clippy when what we want is Windows 7.

I guarantee you the actual top feature request is turning off this utter shit in every Google app.

Some of us are a little bit sick of your party supporting genocide. You have kids. Can't you imagine for just a second how shit it would be for them to be shot or bombed with Labor's support?

Don't let it go to your head, but one of the main reasons I'm still here. If there were another venue for us to stay in touch and have a laugh, I'd be very interested. Even if it's just threads or bluesky or something.

The bigger problem is political: whichever party attempts it will get hammered and I worry Albanese doesn't have the capital to risk it. And of course, pollies and their donors are disproportionately resi investors. And owner-occupiers don't want to see prices fall much either.

Special-casing a particular asset class feels a bit inelegant to my gut. But on the other hand, housing *is* a special case, and clearly the status quo is hurting people other than the investors, so that's ok.

Is the idea that, like cap losses, we can only reduce our investment tax to zero but not deduct them from earned income? With a carry-forward to future investment income? 2/2

Another question: how do you imagine "scrapping negative gearing" working? It's reasonable to deduct our investment expenses, and hard to break those down on a per-Investment basis. 1/2

In all but unusual times it would take quite a few years for inflation to compound up to 50%, but eventually of course you're right, and for those of us investing for retirement it would definitely be plausible if we pick the right investments in the first place.
