I would be amazed if this goes ahead. Ireland has done this as far as I know, but post crash.
(I liked the illustration though)

They introduced a sales tax in NSW last year and it doesn't seem to have brought out the pitchforks. The important thing would be to make small changes.

Scrap the FHOG. I don't want to keep paying for Howard's handouts for the rest of my life.

Re: The Great Australian Property Swindle
It's a tradeoff I guess between how much location wins over price.
800k+ for a place in the SE suburbs
Vs
320k approx for a 4Bed House and Land package in one of the new big developments.
A no brainer on paper, but quite understandable how it is much harder in practice to uproot and move location to get an affordable house when your heart/mind is already settled somewhere else
Hope you catch a break down the line Margaret !

I remember what happened in the UK when they got rid of double mortgage relief in the late 80s. It wasn't pretty.

Re: The Great Australian Property Swindle
420 would be a super duper deal for certain. Grab that for sure !
