QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Mr TED O'BRIEN (Fairfax—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): My question goes to the Prime Minister. As property owners were slugged this week with their thirteenth interest rate rise under Labor, the Treasurer has been laying the ground for an increase in capital gains taxes on housing. At the last election, the Prime Minister ruled out changes to negative gearing, saying it would harm housing supply and be anti-aspirational.
Given this, will the Prime Minister now rule out raising capital gains tax on housing?
