In this episode, Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson joins Sammy Gordon to discuss the sweeping changes to property investing in Australia following the recent federal budget and the government's controversial policy shifts around negative gearing, capital gains tax and SMSF lending.

The conversation dives into the immediate and long-term impacts of these changes on property supply, rental prices and generational inequality, with insights into how government modelling and policy might disadvantage young and self-funded Australians. Tim Wilson outlines the Liberal Party’s vision for boosting housing supply, reforming taxes and supporting small business, while also addressing the future of migration and apprenticeships.

Whether you’re a current investor or concerned about Australia’s future housing landscape, this candid episode unpacks the key issues shaping the property market today.
