- 2:55Speaker 3: by an inflation indexation system. But the Prime Minister said
- 2:59Speaker 3: on Thursday it's not a broken election promise, it's what
- 3:03Speaker 3: he called a change of position, and Albanez he said
- 3:06Speaker 3: he's been upfront with voters about the changes, which are
- 3:09Speaker 3: designed to help more young Australians buy homes.
- 3:13Speaker 4: It is the right thing to do when it comes
- 3:16Speaker 4: to the substance of the policy, and we're not prepared
- 3:20Speaker 4: to sit back and say we know that there's an
- 3:26Speaker 4: ongoing issue with first home buyers and with young people
- 3:31Speaker 4: getting into housing. What we're doing is we worked out
- 3:34Speaker 4: a way to do it that doesn't disadvantage people who've
- 3:38Speaker 4: made existing investments. They will continue because of the grandfathering,
- 3:44Speaker 4: but we've also found a way as well for negative
- 3:46Speaker 4: gearing to continue. But by doing it just for new homes,
- 3:51Speaker 4: what you do is not just assist the investor, you
- 3:56Speaker 4: assist the nation as well.
