Negative Gearing

Negative gearing has been one of the most talked about policy points for the upcoming election, but it’s tricky to wrap your head around what actually happens with negative gearing, and what the policies mean for you. Malcolm Turnbull’s bumbling on the 730 report, and stunt with an 11-month old baby homeowner has set a lot of the public against the Liberals, in favour of Labor’s negative gearing policy. But it’s probably worth examining Labor’s side as well. To talk to us about negative gearing.

2SER spoke to Dr Ben Spies-Butcher, Senior lecturer in Economy and Society in the Department of Sociology at Macquarie University.
