The Grattan Institute released a report called Hot Property: negative gearing and capital gains tax, detailing what negative gearing costs the government, who benefits, and opportunities for how the policy might be adjusted into the future. Danielle Wood, (CEO), speaks to Hidden Cities to explain what is Negative Gearing? Who uses it? What does it cost the government? Why was it so controversial in the 2019 federal election? And mostly - what impact does it have on housing affordability?
