These subsidies are financial aids from the government to help individuals purchase their first home, making homeownership more accessible. Proponents argue that it helps people afford their first home and promotes homeownership. Opponents argue that it distorts the housing market and could lead to higher prices.

@9ZF8CW55mos5MO
yes, as long as we actively address other factors such as limiting tax breaks on investment properties
@9WCPZ636mos6MO
will only add to house price increases, de-incentivise investment housing as the primary investment choice for Australians instead by ending negative gearing and tax breaks for people who own multiple properties.
@9SWQZYB8mos8MO
Yes, first time home buyers need a leg up over investors
@9PJWSBT10mos10MO
No it should be there labour to purchase their home not our money
@B4K2CYY1wk1W
I think a government housing saving scheme that operates similar to how super works but for purchasing a house could be a good idea. It would have to be opt-in and the government would add savings to the account in proportion to how much you add.
@B4BT64D2wks2W
Yes, but only for buyers that have proven that they need the money, as many people are just irresponsible with money and don't deserve any subsidies.
@B49Q8B33wks3W
Yes, and the blanket rule they have for the entry price is rubbish. For example, someone living in a city will struggle to find property listed at a price that gives them access to first home buyers schemes.
@B3DXTK92mos2MO
And provide backpayment to recent first home buyers who have had to pay higher stamp duty due to entry level homes surpassing the state thresholds for stamp duty exemption.
