Agree with you about union leaders. And where are they most powerful? The construction industry...

Low cost credit will of course suck the punters in only to spew them out come interest rate rises which they surely do.
While NG has served vested interests well it is well past its use by date and a tax avoidance scheme this nation can ill afford.
Australian tax being as you well know inefficient, inequitable and hugely unsustainable in present form.

Anything not accountable and transparent can be open to abuse. Unfair to point the finger at any one sector when corruption is so wide spread.

A very poor idea that skews the market in favour of speculators at the cost of home makers. As such plays a large part in the housing diabolical situation that we find ourselves in. Take away the tax perks that cost the nation big time and watch the speculation diminish. A highly geared housing sector as Australia is not good for the nation nor longer term for the investor.

The tax system is inequitable - to higher income earners only as the majority of low income earners pay little income tax
Although NG is not a great idea, removing it will not greatly reduce house prices and it will affect the retirement investments of thousands of ordinary people. $6.8b is a lot of money but pales into insignificance when compared to the amount wasted on unnecessary welfare and other tax bribes

As Zulu points out the are many retirees tied to NG.
From a set point in time, any purchase should not be eligible for NG. Therefore leaving retirees with pre existing investments safe.
