    The Interview: Sen. Andrew Bragg on the Property Tax Shake-Up

    Ben Kingsley sits down with Senator Andrew Bragg, Liberal Senator and Shadow Minister for Housing and Homelessness, for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of housing, tax reform, productivity and Australia’s economic direction. In this special interview, they unpack the proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, the growing challenge of housing affordability, construction bottlenecks, energy policy, lending restrictions and what all of this could mean for everyday Australians trying to build wealth through property. They also explore whether Australia’s housing crisis is really a supply issue, how productivity and red tape are impacting new home construction, and why borrowing capacity rules may be creating unintended consequences across the property market.  Plus, Ben asks the big question many investors are wondering right now:  Will the proposed tax reforms actually improve affordability… or could they create a two-tier property market?  If you want a deeper understanding of the policy debate shaping Australia’s property market, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.    Free Stuff Mentioned Register for our upcoming webinar: Property Prices After Tax Reform: Fact vs Fiction 👇 https://thepropertycouch.com.au/registernow    Timestamps  00:00 – Introducing Senator Andrew Bragg00:59 – Early life, money lessons and investing03:30 – What Did the Budget Get Right?04:16 – Shovel-ready housing and infrastructure05:19 – Housing supply, migration and skills shortages06:45 – Redistribution vs aspiration08:31 – Productivity and building more homes11:15 – Could a Simpler Building Code Help Build More Homes?13:52 – Modular homes, tiny homes and cheaper builds16:10 – Will banks finance alternative housing?17:58 – Lending rules, APRA and borrowing capacity18:31 – Investors competing with first home buyers22:20 – How Do We Fix Australia’s Energy Problem?25:09 – AI, data centres and economic growth26:46 – Negative gearing and CGT changes28:38 – Will the reforms help first home buyers?30:40 – Could this create a two-tier property market?31:04 – Housing fairness or revenue raising?33:20 – Negative gearing as a “moment in time”34:14 – Who really gets locked out?36:19 – Capital gains tax and younger Australians39:55 – Quick-fire housing questions40:50 – One housing reform to pass immediately42:06 – Ben’s final reflections43:45 – Upcoming webinar: Property Prices After Tax Reform LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >> MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/      FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >> FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple Again FIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube
