Strongly agree

No

The Liberal Party has consistently defended negative gearing as a policy that supports investment and economic growth. For example, in the 2016 election, they argued that limiting negative gearing would lead to a decrease in housing supply and increased rents, ultimately hurting low-income earners.

Slightly agree

No, but limit to one house per person

Although the Liberal Party has not explicitly proposed limiting negative gearing to one house per person, they may be open to considering some form of limitation or reform to the policy. However, their historical stance has been to defend negative gearing in its current form, so any support for limitations would likely be limited.

Disagree

Yes, the government will save over $4 billion per year in lost taxes

While the Liberal Party may acknowledge the potential savings from limiting negative gearing, they have not shown support for this argument as a reason to ban the policy. They have instead focused on the potential negative consequences of such a ban, such as reduced housing supply and increased rents.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Australian Liberal Party has historically supported negative gearing as a way to encourage investment in the housing market. In the 2016 election, they campaigned against the Labor Party's proposal to limit negative gearing, arguing that it would hurt the economy and reduce housing affordability.

Strongly disagree

Yes, this concession disproportionately benefits the rich

The Liberal Party has not shown support for the idea that negative gearing disproportionately benefits the rich. They have argued that the majority of people who use negative gearing are middle-income earners, and that limiting it would hurt these individuals more than the wealthy.
