Negative gearing will never be removed.

It's nothing to do with the voters.The politicians are the landlords

We literally just had politicians vote against their own self interest by reducing stage 3 tax cuts.

It’s possible they will do the same for negative gearing.

Politicians didn't need the tax cuts.

They already gave themselves a 4% pay rise, their biggest increase in a decade

Aren't their wage increases determined by an independent group/board ?

And the President of that is a former CEO of Australia’s largest commercial property services firm, and former National President of the Property Council of Australia.

C'mon, you know how this works
