Housing in Australia should be a home, not a speculative asset. Westminster's latest rate cut won't fix that. We can't afford another decade of tax breaks that inflate prices for investors while young families and renters are priced out.
Instead, Fusion would:
• Replace stamp duty with a Land Value Tax to stop land-banking and tie tax to ongoing value, not mobility.
• Replace the 50% CGT discount with inflation indexation so only real gains are taxed.
• Quarantine negative gearing losses so rental losses can't subsidise wage and salary income.
• Apply a windfall gains tax to rezoning uplifts, capturing publicly-created value for public benefit.
• Establish minimum housing permissions along transport corridors and a code-complying fast-track for standard homes, with councils paid per completed home through a Housing Delivery Accelerator.
• Introduce National Rental Security Standards: no-grounds evictions banned, minimum safety standards, and reformed Rent Assistance tied to actual rent.
We don't need another tinker at the edges. We need a structural shift that treats housing as infrastructure for living, not a casino. Join the push for real reform.

Australia's housing system is rigged for speculation, not homes. Stamp duty locks people into place. Negative gearing lets investors offset losses against wages. The CGT discount hands windfalls to the well-off. Rezoning gains flow to whoever owns the land.
Fusion's Reclaim Our Economy platform rewires the whole system:
- Replace stamp duty with a recurring Land Value Tax, so holding land vacant costs something real.
- Swap the CGT discount for indexation, taxing real gains instead of inflation.
- Quarantine negative gearing losses so they can't slash your tax bill.
- Capture rezoning windfalls for public benefit.
- Mandate minimum housing permissions and a code-complying fast-track in well-serviced areas.
- Pay councils for completed homes, not just approvals.
- Integrate public housing into new developments.
- Set national rental standards and plan high-speed rail to open up affordable catchments.
This is a coherent plan to make housing work for people, not speculators. If you're sick of watching the system squeeze renters and first home buyers, join Fusion and help us win the argument.

Australia's housing system punishes mobility and rewards speculation. Stamp duty traps you in place. Negative gearing lets investors write off losses against your pay packet. Rezoning gains flow to landowners, not the public.
Fusion's plan flips the incentives:
- Land value tax replaces stamp duty, so holding land costs something and moving costs nothing.
- CGT discount goes back to inflation indexation so gains reflect real value, not a windfall.
- Rental losses are quarantined; no more using housing to cut your tax bill.
- Minimum permissions and code-complying approvals let housing happen where infrastructure already exists.
This is structural reform, not tinkering. Join the campaign to make housing work for people again.
