Positive gearing is so FY21-22.
On this episode of Dollars & Sense, substitute Greg (Matt Grudnoff) and Elinor discuss the 91 millionaires who paid zero tax, the grim reality driving the gender pay gap, and why negative gearing is back on trend (but still making housing less affordable).
This discussion was recorded on Thursday 3 July 2025 and things may have changed since recording.
