Housing in Australia has become a financialised casino. Speculators get tax breaks while renters and first home buyers are locked out. Fusion's plan goes straight at the rot: replace stamp duty with a Land Value Tax to stop land banking, tax windfall gains from rezoning so the public shares in planning decisions, and close the CGT discount and negative gearing loopholes that fuel investor demand. Minimum housing permissions and a code-complying fast-track will unlock supply in well-serviced areas. This isn't tinkering; it's a structural rewire.

Australia's housing crisis is driven by a system that rewards speculation over homes. Stamp duty locks people in place, negative gearing and CGT discounts pump demand into existing stock, and restrictive zoning blocks supply. Fusion's solution: replace stamp duty with a broad land value tax to discourage land banking; quarantine negative gearing losses so rental losses can't subsidise your pay packet; and require states to allow housing near transport so we can actually build. This isn't tinkering. It's a structural shift to make housing work for people, not investors. Join the movement to reclaim our economy. #auspol #housing https://go.fusionparty.org.au/cg07D
