    All this talk of scrapping negative gearing is
    mindless. So what’s the plan? You can’t claim
    any expenses? You can only claim expenses up
    to the value of income received?
    The government are quite happy to tax
    investments that are positively geared , so why
    is negative gearing on the nose?
    All anyone seems to talk about with negative
    gearing is housing, what about other investments
    what’s the plan there?
    Seems to be a lot of rhetoric around gearing and
    capital gains but not much detailed thought and
    no plan from the left other than jealousy.

    For what its worth I have never intentionally
    negatively geared, I think it’s a stupid idea
    from a financial perspective.
