Our housing policies are aimed at giving young people a fair crack. We've changed the system so that, this Saturday, if a young couple turn up at an auction, they're not competing versus an investor who has taxpayer support. So, if they bid an extra $20,000 or $50,000, they know that they actually get a bonus and every taxpayer helping them out by increasing the deductions under negative gearing. What we are doing is making sure that people who were negatively gearing properties when the changes came in can still continue to do so. What's more, young people or anyone else can continue to invest in a negatively geared property as well.
