Comment on Labor's home batteries policy could help people who will never take it up. Here's how | Adam Morton
Auzy@aussie.zone 1 week agoSo what’s your solution then for rentals?
You complain if they put incentives to stop buying multiple properties and increase the availability to people who want to stop renting, you complain if they don’t?
Negative gearing mainly benefits wealthier people, and I know we had customers with 14+ houses they owned. They’re the main problem, because the more properties they buy, the bigger power they have over the market (monopolies).
There already is a first home owners grant which benefits first home buyers (I know, because I used it).
They need to add incentive for people to stop buying multiple properties, so more people can stop renting, and eliminating negative gearing could help with that.

Why do you assume renters want to stop renting? Mostly renters just want better renting conditions. I support many changes to rental laws. But I don’t think skipping all the low hanging fruit and enforcing solar and batteries is realistic.
Insulation should be a must. Repairs should be done in a timely fashion.

It sounds like you want the best of all worlds
If you want cheap rent and all that, the solution is to buy, not to buy
Yes, it requires more responsibility, but that’s life.

Yep. I’m sure people will be jumping at the opportunity to give you cheap rent, absorb all of the property ownership risks and all the stress.
Unless the rental property is owned by the government, fuck all chance mate 😂
