My question is to the Treasurer. Today, in opposing Labor's reforms to negative gearing, the Treasurer described negative gearing as 'an entirely legitimate practice to offset the cost of earning an income against that income'. Is the Treasurer aware that that is not actually negative gearing and is a practice unaffected by Labor's policy? Does the Treasurer actually know what negative gearing is?
