Still don’t think the taxpayer should help to fund their wealth building.

The fact is that existing investment properties will not be affected only new investment properties and these will only be affected if they are not new homes. So the answer is buy a new home as an investment property.

Earth shattering.

Great. Now how about a fact check on Coalition claim that they are better economic managers than Labor. And whether or not it's true - how much is that claim worth to them at election time? 10%?

Many positions in the police force.

So what if they do. How many investment properties does the one who is running the ABC own

Aren't the changes going to be grandfathered so they won't affect those with investment properties already?

So now cops aren't allowed to have investment properties? What a load of shit! They do a tough job. What next fireries and ambos can't have investment peoperties? What about defence members? Some of them have more than one. This is clutching at straws election crap

Oh no - you mean these people belong to the top end of town category. Check the firemen as well - at least one owns three investment properties! LiberalAus
