You seem pretty negative about property in general weasil.
Negative gearing has to go, it is good to see momentum building against it.
It's an unfair handout to speculators, at the expense of other tax payers.
With interest rates so low, now would be an excellent time to start phasing it out on existing properties with minimum impact. It should be allowed to a degree on new construction only.

Well lets just say as a taxpayer I want to be assured my money is being well spent, or if spent if comes back with interest in another form (such as returned tax revenue or income as a few have suggested).

rents subsequently shot through the roof, making it unaffordable for those on lower incomes.
NEAL WOOLRICH: Some in the property industry have also argued there would be a spike in rents if negative gearing was removed. The Hawke government abolished negative gearing in 1985, but reinstated it before the 1987 election fearing a voter backlash. During that period rents rose in Sydney and Perth, were steady in Melbourne and Adelaide and fell in Brisbane.
SAUL ESLAKE: In truth the reason why rents rose so much in Sydney and Perth at that time was because of rental vacancy rates in those two cities was below 2 per cent on those occasions.
What about the common argument that the abolishion of negative gearing between July 1985 and September 1987 caused a rental crisis, causing rents to skyrocket across the country? This claim is easily debunked by the data, which shows that rents rose in four capital cities and fell in four capital cities:
If it was true that the abolition of negative gearing caused rents to rise, shouldn’t rents have risen Australia-wide since negative gearing affects all rental markets?
