My question is to the Prime Minister and concerns the government's capital gains tax discount for landlords. If we take a landlord—let's call him Anthony—he can increase the rent by however much he wants and evict his tenant so he can sell the property for a big profit. When selling the property he can get to keep 50 per cent of a $500,000 profit he makes, completely tax-free, thanks to Labor's handouts to property investors, which deny renters the ability to buy their first home. Does the Prime Minister think that's more than fair?
