Good. Govt should break stupid promises. Housing is insane and the “well, let’s just keep propping it up” approach has not helped one bit.
I’m sure they will be grandfathering-in any boomers though, wouldn’t want to actually anger the largest voting base or their 4 houses. We’ll see I guess…
Would love to see foreign ownership canned for both businesses and individuals (need citizenship to buy house and land). There so much that can be done to ease the housing crisis, and so far we’vr tried very little.

It’s the same reason I didn’t give a fuck about the Stage 3 tax changes. The original version was obviously benefiting only the wealthy, so it’s hard to care if they lied when the modified version was obviously more equitable.

I was going to say that.
Good policy is more important than the 24 hour media cycle.
