The government reckons it’s fixing housing. Kate’s not so sure. The 2026 federal budget has a lot to say about property — negative gearing, CGT, pushing investors into new builds. On paper it sounds reasonable. But when you look at how the market actually works? It starts to fall apart pretty quickly. Kate breaks it all down covering what the policy actually does, why investors won’t just “redirect” to new builds, what happens to renters when supply dries up, and who ends up footing the bill. Ready to build your portfolio the right way? Call Kate and let’s get strategic. […]

Why the 2026 budget could make Australia’s housing crisis worse

By Kate Hill

By Kate Hill

The most common inaccuracies were overstating income and understating living expenses, the survey found. This
