abc on negative gearing, page-43

"I did a bit of googling regarding the '85 to '87 no ng period . Looks like it didn't go so well hence they brought it back pretty quick."

where did your googling lead you? rents only increased in sydney and perth, remaining the same with in fact some falls in other cities.

"There has been a shortage of house building for many years in Australia which I imagine controls pricing in general ."

so limit NG going forward to investment in new properties (allow it to stay for existing properties until they are sold)
