Dutton’s tax-deductible interest for first homebuyers is a breakthrough

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Bulletin › Featured article

Abstract

Like many conservatives, I have been waiting for something original from the Coalition that will differentiate them from the socialists. Labor has proven time and again that socialist approaches to housing affordability do not work. Today, I am pleased to report that Peter Dutton has announced an Australian first: First homebuyers will be eligible for tax deductions on their mortgage interest for new builds for the first five years of their mortgage.

This is great news, and the policy echoes my argument in the Speccie from this time last year: How about tax deductions for your home loan interest?
