My question is to the Prime Minister: The Prime Minister and the Treasurer both claimed that Labor's reforms to negative gearing would be like a sledgehammer to property prices. Why were the Prime Minister and Treasurer claiming one thing publicly while receiving different Treasury advice behind closed doors? Why is it that the government's only answer to Australians struggling to buy their first home is to mislead them about policies that will actually help them?
