Ahead of Federal Election 2025, Bushy Martin cuts through the political noise to give you an honest, no-spin breakdown of the housing policies proposed by the major parties and how it impacts Australian property investors. With skyrocketing property prices outpacing wages and a shortage of housing supply, this election could be a pivotal moment for your investment strategy. Key Highlights: Housing Affordability Crisis: Bushy explains why housing affordability is such a mess, with property prices rising faster than wages, creating a perfect storm for investors. Labor’s Housing Solutions: The Australian Labor Party’s $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) promises 30,000 homes over five years but faces challenges. Also, the Home Guarantee Scheme and social housing push may provide opportunities but also bring inflationary pressures. Liberal-National Coalition’s Approach: The Coalition’s $5 billion infrastructure fund and reforms like tax-deductible mortgage repayments and APRA adjustments could stimulate housing supply and help first-home buyers. However, these policies risk pushing property prices higher and adding to demand. Greens’ Radical Policies: The Greens propose phasing out negative gearing, implementing rent controls, and building public housing. While aimed at affordability, these policies may inadvertently reduce housing supply and worsen the rental crisis. Bushy concludes by stressing the essential role of property investors in supplying rental housing and how misguided policies could push them out of the market, exacerbating the affordability issue. Takeaways: Whether you’re an investor or aspiring homebuyer, understanding the policy impacts is crucial. Bushy breaks it down so you can make an informed vote and position yourself for better investment outcomes, no matter who wins the election.
