For weeks we’ve been told that winding back investor tax breaks will send rents soaring. But there’s a problem with that argument.

When an investor sells a property to a first home buyer, a rental leaves the market - but so does a renter. The property lobby wants us to count one and ignore the other.

And if tax breaks automatically led to lower rents, Australia would already have some of the cheapest housing in the world.

Check out Everybody’s Home spokesperson Maiy Azize in The Canberra Times unpacking why the property lobby’s claims don’t stack up: https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/9295378/why-property-lobby-rent-hike-warning-ignores-true-market-forces/

You might have noticed that the property lobby is having a meltdown.

You can almost set your watch to it. The moment anyone suggests winding back investor tax breaks, the same talking points come flooding out. Rents will skyrocket. Investors will flee. The market will collapse. Renters will suffer.

There’s just one problem: renters are already suffering under the exact system the property lobby is defending.

If these tax breaks are supposed to keep rents low, renters across Australia would probably like a word.

Labor is right to wind back a system where taxpayers spend billions lining the pockets of those who treat housing like an asset class, not a basic need

Investor tax breaks have fuelled the housing crisis for decades. Winding them back is long overdue and a huge win for housing fairness!

Now the property lobby is running a dishonest scare campaign, blaming rent rises on reforms that don't even affect existing investors.

Existing landlords get to keep their negative gearing tax perks. Any attempt to use these reforms as a justification for raising rents is opportunistic profiteering.

We urge all politicians to see through the fearmongering and pass the changes📣

Exclusive: Any attempt to use the budget measures as an excuse to raise rent is opportunistic profiteering, housing advocates say

Proof that change is possible 💪

Winding back negative gearing and the CGT discount is a major win after years of campaigning, but this is only the beginning. Australia can’t end the housing crisis while the system keeps rewarding investors over people who just need a home. We need the government to Build. More. Affordable. Homes.

$19 billion. That’s what we could unlock by winding back unfair investor tax breaks.

New analysis shows reforming CGT and negative gearing could build tens of thousands of homes, help people out of homelessness, and ease rents.

😒 Housing shouldn’t be a “national sport” for investors. It is a basic right. It’s time to build homes people can actually afford.

Momentum is building and change is on the table.

New reporting reveals the government is considering winding back the capital gains tax discount to pre-1999 settings.

For decades tax settings have tilted the system in favour of investors over people who simply want a secure place to call home.

We need bold action that:
✅ Builds more social and affordable housing
✅ Rebalances tax settings that lock people out
✅ Puts housing back where it belongs, as homes, not just investments

A property investor reached out to us this week.

Not to defend the system - but to say it isn’t working.

When even people benefiting from the rules are calling for change, it tells you something.

This isn’t about renters vs investors.

It’s about fixing a system that’s locking people out.

Momentum is building. Australians want the government to cut investor handouts and start building homes they can actually afford.

After years of pressure, investor tax breaks are finally on the table.

Now we need to keep the pressure on to make sure this leads to real change
