    Real estate agents across the nation have declared war on Bill Shorten’s negative gearing overhaul and will mount a four-week campaign using customer databases to target buyers, sellers, landholders and tenants in key marginals seats.

    Just checked again, the link works but the article isn't the third from the bottom anymore. It keeps getting moved around....oh well.

    Let's just agree that Labor is bad for property investors and BS is full of BS. :p

    They are if there is a mediscare style campaign that shortens tax policies will push up rent prices. A claim that is not entirely baseless I should add

    Labor would have thought of this when they tabled the NG policy.

    They will have something up their sleeve to counter for sure.

    That's assuming that those tenants don't want to buy property though, which many do, especially in very expensive cities like Melbourne and Sydney

    They may want to but for many of them it will never happen. People always want things but no commitment.

    They definitely do have a strategy. They have armed themselves with "last time negative gearing was abolished it didn't push rental prices up".

    Smart people know that past performance is not an indicator of future performance.

    Maybe it’s just confirmation bias, but from what I’ve been reading seems the libs may actually be in with half a chance to win.
    6months sho I would have said they were doomed.

    Let’s hope!

    No chance libs will win....people have realised to not trust murdoch press... who still do we’re never gona vote for labor anyway....

    There is not even a single data that justify impact of NG claims....even the treasury has refuted claims from the Govt...

    Independent economists majority of who claim it won’t have a major impact...

    Only people crying are those with vested interests....

    This country needs choices and I am sure majority on this forum will vote libs coz they are only thinking about their back pocket (nothing wrong), but there are a lot more ppl whose needs are different and will vote labor...

    I predict 80-85 seats majority

    I just looked at the sports betting page, and seems the TAB agrees with you.
    Libs at 5:1 and labor at 1.15:1

    Time to cash in the chips and wait for the looming australian recession me thinks.

    Recessions are not only party dependent....

    I am not sure which data or facts you are using to form this point of view that somehow libs are better economic managers....

    They are not and neither is labor....so if the recession was to come, it will come regardless....

    A week is a long time in politics. We still have around 5 weeks before polling. Anything and I mean anything can happen. We could end up with hung parliament where no major party wins with majority.

    Don't blindly bet on the polls. They have been wrong in the past. Just look at Brexit, Trump and most recent NSW elections. Polls were clearly wrong.

    I would not be betting my money based on the polls. A lot of people are undecided and would vote based on how the election campaign over the following 5 weeks goes.

    Cheers,
    Oracle.
