@GusLefty@Peter_A_Kat@dai_le DIsincentives for investors so it was "fairer" and more affordable for first home buyers was always going to mean the market cooling slightly. This is not speculation, it is basic supply and demand economics and definitely not a conspiracy theory.
@GusLefty@Peter_A_Kat@dai_le Prior knowledge of the damage it would do to the market so the could sell at the peak would definitely have made a difference. Look a little further than just the tax implications.

@gt65dusk@roberts_ca65514@goodfoodgal@AlboMP Problem with that is that he explicitly stated he wouldn't make changes to CGT and negative gearing. "How hard is it? For the 50th time NO" is a direct quote from Albanese. So technically no change to CGT was the policy he took to the election.
@JacintaAllanMP Except there won't be any rental properties when all the investors leave. And despite this, the renters won't magically become home owners either. They will just be homeless.
