EP07 - 2025 Election (Part 1): Which Party Will Fix The Housing Crisis?

Breaking Down the Federal Election Housing Policies: What's Really Going to Work?In this week's episode, we delve into a timely topic: the upcoming federal election and its implications on the housing crisis. We scrutinise the housing policies of the Coalition, Labour Party, and the Greens. From the controversial $50,000 super withdrawal proposal to shared equity schemes like Help To Buy, we debate their potential impacts. We also touch on critical issues like rent caps, migration, and negative gearing. Are these policies genuine problem-solvers or just short-term vote grabs? And will Imtiyaz survive until next week's episode?Tune in as we grade each party's plan and discuss what they mean for the future of housing in Australia.00:35 Critique of Coalition's superannuation policy04:46 Serviceability Buffer Adjustment analysis08:40 Impact of international student numbers on housing14:51 Grading the Coalition's housing policies15:54 Housing Australia Future Fund21:25 Help To Buy Scheme27:47 Housing market dynamics and foreign investment31:27 Grading Labor's housing policies32:50 Rent caps and freezes38:47 Tax reforms: negative gearing45:56 Tax reforms: capital gains tax50:23 Grading the Greens' housing policiesYour hosts:Imtiyaz Rather - Principal Mortgage Broker -⁠⁠ Hack Mortgages⁠⁠Skye Taylor - Director - ⁠⁠Taylored Property Management⁠⁠Peter Theodorou - Buyers Agent - ⁠⁠Mindset PropertyKeywordspolitics, election, housing crisis, superannuation, coalition policies, labor party, international students, property market, affordable housing, election policies, mortgage, economic impact, housing market, foreign investment, Labor Party, rent caps, tax reforms, negative gearing, capital gains tax, housing policies, Australia, real estate, greens, liberal party, coalition
