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.

Yes, first time home buyers need a leg up over investors
@9WCPZ631mo1MO
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.
@9TBYTMW2mos2MO
current subsidy not effective - supply problem need to increase housing supply
@9T4MTQN3mos3MO
Stamp duty should be reviewed particularly in NSW rather than funding new buyers creating more demand, therefore higher prices. Subsidise retirees to downsize to open more houses for sale. More stock lower prices.
@9SZNK9N3mos3MO
Yes but only if a way can be found that doesn't automatically hike the price in keeping, which amounts to the subsidy benefitting the seller, not the first home buyer.
@9PJWSBT5mos5MO
No it should be there labour to purchase their home not our money
@9ZF8CW51wk1W
yes, as long as we actively address other factors such as limiting tax breaks on investment properties
@9WNJ2H24wks4W
No, it drives up prices. They need to stop immigration for many years and let housing catch-up. Also prevent investors from buying existing stock (only new builds) if that will help too.
