Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Oh, budget, last night, you're watching it.
- 0:06Speaker 2: I'm sure all about the money. Yeah, I was watching it,
- 0:09Speaker 2: but it is so boring, like you can't watch it
- 0:11Speaker 2: for that long.
- 0:12Speaker 3: He stands up there for half an hour and they
- 0:14Speaker 3: treasure and talk them tune in for that.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like a lot of people do. Yeah.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Right, So it's I want to ask you, Mayo. I'm
- 0:22Speaker 2: glad you're here. Actually, I want to ask you. Do
- 0:25Speaker 2: you know what negative gearing is?
- 0:27Speaker 1: No?
- 0:27Speaker 4: Clear?
- 0:28Speaker 2: Okay, great. By the end of this segment, hopefully you
- 0:31Speaker 2: have more of a clue. So right before the last election.
- 0:35Speaker 2: This audio is from one month before the last election. Okay,
- 0:39Speaker 2: have a listen to what Albo said about negative gearing.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Can you rule out any changes to negative gearing and
- 0:45Speaker 2: capital gains?
- 0:46Speaker 1: Yes?
- 0:47Speaker 5: How hard is it? For the time?
- 0:49Speaker 1: Right?
- 0:50Speaker 2: So fifty times I guess Elbow lied and said that
- 0:54Speaker 2: he would not be changing negative gearing, and last night
- 0:57Speaker 2: they've changed negative gearing. So it's a big broken election promise.
- 1:02Speaker 2: But Albo's saying it's worth breaking the promise because he
- 1:05Speaker 2: believes in it that much. Now, let's decide whether we
- 1:08Speaker 2: believe it and negative gearing. What it is, Mayo, is
- 1:11Speaker 2: if you are a property investor. So you own a
- 1:14Speaker 2: house and then you rent it out even if you
- 1:17Speaker 2: lose money on it. So your rent's not high enough
- 1:19Speaker 2: and you're losing money, you can claim that loss off
- 1:23Speaker 2: your income tax. So it's kind of a win win,
- 1:26Speaker 2: like you're never going to lose that badly because of
- 1:28Speaker 2: negative view.
- 1:29Speaker 4: So like when you do your tax with the accountant,
- 1:32Speaker 4: you can ask for more money because you've lost there.
- 1:34Speaker 5: You get a bigs return.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So I actually have the one negatively geared property,
- 1:40Speaker 2: which is the place I built. Remember it had no
- 1:43Speaker 2: grasp for HS that place. I don't leave in it anymore.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Someone's renting it, so it's negatively geared because of that,
- 1:50Speaker 2: and I rent somewhere else, which is kind of like
- 1:52Speaker 2: what this encourages. I think like rentfesting, rent where.
- 1:57Speaker 5: You want to live, but own where you can afford.
- 1:59Speaker 3: And I've got investment of property as well, same thing.
- 2:01Speaker 3: I negatively gear it. So I make a loss right
- 2:05Speaker 3: because of the you can take the mortgage interest and
- 2:07Speaker 3: everything offered. Yeah, and then I get money back.
- 2:10Speaker 5: Yeah, it's actually pretty good.
- 2:12Speaker 2: And this has been around since the early nineties, so
- 2:16Speaker 2: all of our sort of parents and that older generation
- 2:19Speaker 2: have benefited from this system for so long. House prices
- 2:23Speaker 2: have gone up so much over this time, and it's
- 2:26Speaker 2: why they say you can't lose in property because of
- 2:29Speaker 2: this base.
- 2:30Speaker 1: However, Brooklyn, can I just bring up one point.
- 2:32Speaker 3: This is not going to affect you or me or
- 2:34Speaker 3: anyone that is already currently negatively geared.
- 2:37Speaker 5: No, So it's only.
- 2:38Speaker 3: Going forward, right, so like we can keep negative gearing
- 2:41Speaker 3: for the next forty years.
- 2:42Speaker 2: The changes that were announced last night, Mayo, is anyone
- 2:44Speaker 2: that's already that already owns a property and is negatively
- 2:47Speaker 2: gearing it stay at.
- 2:49Speaker 5: Stage, they're not affected.
- 2:51Speaker 2: But from today or from last night actually when it
- 2:54Speaker 2: was announced in the budget. If you buy a property
- 2:57Speaker 2: from now, that's an existing property, so it's already built,
- 3:00Speaker 2: you can't negatively gear anymore.
- 3:02Speaker 5: So they're getting rid of it.
- 3:03Speaker 4: But that means technically no one would want to have
- 3:06Speaker 4: an investment property, right because they'd be too scared of losing.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Well, you could still get one if your rent is
- 3:12Speaker 2: high enough, like if you're going to actually make money because.
- 3:15Speaker 4: Your rent you're ripping off the renters.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, that's what people say, is it's only going
- 3:19Speaker 2: to push up rents and.
- 3:21Speaker 4: It's already hard, like people are trying to get like
- 3:24Speaker 4: their rent lower lower because of cost of living. Isn't
- 3:26Speaker 4: that just going to make a situation.
- 3:28Speaker 3: The counter to that is less investors means it's more
- 3:30Speaker 3: affordable for people that want to.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Live in there to get in.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, So we're not going to push everyone first
- 3:36Speaker 2: home buyers. They want to get some of the investors
- 3:39Speaker 2: out of the market a bit.
- 3:41Speaker 1: First time negatively geared homes.
- 3:44Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Portfolio Yeah, like I've got one, you got one, like
- 3:49Speaker 3: most people they have one, But.
- 3:50Speaker 2: I not hate them, but it's the system that they're
- 3:54Speaker 2: in that it's so good to actually do that. So
- 3:57Speaker 2: Albow's basically saying the whole idea of buying property and
- 4:01Speaker 2: you just can't lose on that investment and you're gonna
- 4:04Speaker 2: make literally millions over the.
- 4:06Speaker 5: Next couple of decades.
- 4:09Speaker 2: He wants to get rid of that idea and property
- 4:11Speaker 2: should be more of Every Australian deserves to own a
- 4:15Speaker 2: house for them to live in. Yeah, that's fair, get
- 4:17Speaker 2: more back to that.
- 4:19Speaker 4: I think that's like, I like, she likes it.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Albo changed an election promise within one years. They all
- 4:31Speaker 2: like should they should they.
- 4:33Speaker 4: No, But it's just I feel like that just happens
- 4:35Speaker 4: no matter which country you're in, there's always some sust stuff.
- 4:41Speaker 2: I think it's good what he's doing, and no one
- 4:43Speaker 2: that's currently negative le gearing will be affected. So it's
- 4:46Speaker 2: only a slight change. Yeah, but it's one year later
- 4:51Speaker 2: and he's completely gone.
- 4:53Speaker 5: Back on what he said. I said that fifty times.
- 4:56Speaker 5: I'm not going to change negative clearing or you did.
- 5:00Speaker 4: He has to be more careful than I think, even
- 5:02Speaker 4: doubling down.
- 5:02Speaker 2: I've said it fifty times. How hard is.
- 5:04Speaker 1: It like he wants to how's he explaining at Brooklyn?
- 5:07Speaker 2: He's he's just saying that there are so many more
- 5:10Speaker 2: young people.
- 5:10Speaker 4: Now struggling, which is true.
- 5:12Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Saying, there are more younger voters than older voters now,
- 5:16Speaker 2: so we're doing what they need to happen.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Yeah, you ever heard this saying it's like, well, when
- 5:20Speaker 3: the situation changes, I'd changed my mind.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Situation hasn't changed in twelve months.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Well, I think I'm saying, like war and.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Everything, people have been struggling to buy houses for longer
- 5:32Speaker 4: than that's true.
- 5:35Speaker 2: We all now get to just judge him on it,
- 5:37Speaker 2: do we think it's good enough to accept that it
- 5:39Speaker 2: was a broken election promise.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:41Speaker 3: I mean a lot of people calling in, so I
- 5:43Speaker 3: suppose do you think it's a good thing? Yeah, look
- 5:45Speaker 3: at the front. Do you think it's a good thing?
- 5:47Speaker 3: Or he is breaking a promise? That's kind of what
- 5:49Speaker 3: it's going to come down to.
- 5:50Speaker 5: Right, Yeah.
- 5:51Speaker 4: Well, if it helps people get their first home, I
- 5:53Speaker 4: think it was the right decision.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Well, Kathy, you're fired up by your Hi, Kathy, go
- 5:58Speaker 1: for it.
- 6:00Speaker 6: This affects nobody but the mom and dad investors that
- 6:03Speaker 6: are trying to get into, you know, build a future
- 6:05Speaker 6: for their kids and their grandkids. Their polligues who already
- 6:08Speaker 6: have twenty and thirty investment properties, they're not affected. They'll
- 6:12Speaker 6: still be making their millions from it. But anyone that's
- 6:14Speaker 6: trying to get into the market now to help their
- 6:16Speaker 6: families and their kids and grandkids, oh no, we can't
- 6:19Speaker 6: help them.
- 6:20Speaker 5: Now.
- 6:20Speaker 6: This isn't going to help nobody but the pollyge.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Do you want your kids to be able to afford
- 6:25Speaker 2: their own house?
- 6:26Speaker 4: Of course I do.
- 6:27Speaker 6: But this is not going to help Brooklyn. This is
- 6:30Speaker 6: not going to help. This just makes the richer richer,
- 6:32Speaker 6: and the poorer, poorer.
- 6:33Speaker 3: All right, Hey, how about the fact that did you
- 6:36Speaker 3: touch on that you can still negatively gear a new property.
- 6:39Speaker 5: Yes, exactly, so you still do it.
- 6:41Speaker 2: You can as a going forward Now, Mayo, if you
- 6:43Speaker 2: want to get in on the negative gearing bandwagon, which
- 6:46Speaker 2: is pretty good, you just have to construct a new home. Ah,
- 6:50Speaker 2: build one, build one, which could be an apartment, could
- 6:53Speaker 2: be you know in the suburbs. Build a new house
- 6:55Speaker 2: so they would encourage more new homes to be built
- 6:59Speaker 2: and take investors out of the existing home market.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I think Sarah's got a You've got a different point
- 7:04Speaker 1: of view. Hollo, good morning, Hi, good money.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Hi.
- 7:07Speaker 1: What do.
- 7:09Speaker 7: I think? Like you know, in every other form of investing,
- 7:12Speaker 7: there's a chance of the risk of losing money, and
- 7:15Speaker 7: I think harding should be the same. Like, if you
- 7:17Speaker 7: want to invest to gain money, there's that risk of
- 7:20Speaker 7: losing Everyone deserves the chance to have a house, like
- 7:23Speaker 7: I don't think it should be just like Okay, you
- 7:25Speaker 7: have a house as an investment, you're definitely gonna win
- 7:27Speaker 7: money or gain money.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Yeah okay, yeah, Well we Australia would do better if
- 7:32Speaker 2: more of our money was invested into businesses.
- 7:36Speaker 1: We're not homes.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Yeah, we just relied on oh just by by, you know,
- 7:39Speaker 2: three four homes and we're good.
- 7:42Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty they announce anything about like giving more
- 7:45Speaker 4: grants to young people to be able to afford homes,
- 7:49Speaker 4: because I feel like there hasn't been many changes with that,
- 7:51Speaker 4: Like it seems like they haven't got much help. And
- 7:53Speaker 4: I know from going to auctions and stuff, you're constantly
- 7:56Speaker 4: beaten by I guess I feel like older actually.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Restor is usually yeah, but it's I can't with the grands.
- 8:04Speaker 2: What they say is that when there's a grant for
- 8:07Speaker 2: young people, all that's really doing is giving young people.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Oh I don't know what that was. Could hear your voice?
- 8:14Speaker 1: Given?
- 8:14Speaker 2: Yes, But a grant is only pushing up demand. So
- 8:18Speaker 2: when more people have more money because they've got a grand,
- 8:21Speaker 2: suddenly everyone can bid higher and its prices even higher again.
- 8:25Speaker 2: So something like this that's like more structural change is
- 8:30Speaker 2: probably better in the long run.
- 8:31Speaker 4: Sorry, one more thing, because I know it.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Almost it stops, So this is now just awkward.
- 8:35Speaker 3: It's like radio now.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I guess it's happening.
- 8:42Speaker 4: But you know, there's always cost of living. The supermarket
- 8:44Speaker 4: prices are ridiculous that's anything to fix that.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Or they're giving you like two hundred and fifty dollars
- 8:50Speaker 2: basically of twenty eight Yeah, next year, hoping it's nothing worse.
- 8:56Speaker 3: You want the government to make groceries cheaper?
- 8:59Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 9:00Speaker 2: For sure?
- 9:00Speaker 1: How that's the thing.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Everyone wants something, and it's like you.
- 9:05Speaker 4: Have, well, give to the people that are I guess producing.
- 9:09Speaker 1: The products, Give to the farmers.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Give to the farmers, give to the I don't know,
- 9:13Speaker 4: the companies that are making all these things money.
- 9:15Speaker 2: It's a big You're going to have a petral cheaper,
- 9:18Speaker 2: electricity cheaper that actually gets that stuff down, which is
- 9:22Speaker 2: hard to achieve.
- 9:22Speaker 1: What's up next on the ABC?
- 9:24Speaker 2: Oh look, we're going to take your calls.
- 9:26Speaker 5: What's your favorite bird
