Scott Morrison has gained the political fight he wanted by promising a housing policy that the superannuation industry, the union movement and Labor cannot abide.

Morrison knows how to run hard on a dramatic policy idea in the final stretch of an election contest because he did this with the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme during the 2019 campaign, promising a government guarantee over 15 per cent of a mortgage. Will it work? The benefits of the policy depend entirely on assumptions about property values, super fund balances and compound rates of return. Australians are certainly better off if they can own their own home in their retirement. The uncertainty in the policy is the cost of achieving that goal by shrinking their super fund nest eggs.The advantage for Morrison is that he is promising younger voters the freedom to choose what they want to do with their savings.

He says it's your money! but then you have to give it back when you sell the house, if it's my money why can't I keep it and re invest in my next property? After all it is my money isn't ScottMorrisonMP

And also is the worst housing policy in 25 years from any Govt. “Economist Saul Eslake described the Coalition’s announcement as the title of WORST housing policy in the last 25 years.”

Morrison will say anything to stay in Power “ he can afford too !. Australians will vote him out of office .

Wipe your chin David, your bias is coming out

No more than a death rattle for a desperate, despicable and overwhelmingly despised LNPCorruptionParty.

Smart move to get younger voters.

Should have released the policy much earlier as well as campaign launch

Thought bubble nothing more David

Scott Morrison suggests Labor may have leaked AUKUS information had it been briefed soonerThe Prime Minister denies that Australia broke with the Biden administration when it decided not to consult Labor about its momentous decision to scrap the French submarine program and unveil an ambitious new plan to build nuclear-powered submarines with the US and the UK. So, the Prime Minster were planning on walking out of the French subs deal... 5 months before.... 'five months before the AUKUS announcement in September last year.' You better believe it. I wouldn't trust Labor with a kid's lunch money. We know him, who in their right mind would want to vote for a blatant lier like Morrison! What an insult from the LNP towards the people of Australia

Morrison had 'every confidence' Labor would support AUKUS agreementScott Morrison has rejected claims the US expected the Labor Party to be briefed on the AUKUS agreement months in advance after Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese exploded at the Prime Minister for failing to seek bipartisan support. Why wouldn't the USA want the incoming Government and New Leader present at the table.👍 Morrison is now guilty of conspiracy by his own admission Everything is politics..

'Like adding kerosene to a fire': Labor attacks Scott Morrison's super home deposit planLabor housing spokesperson Jason Clare said the policy would drive up prices and hurt young Australians, after the former prime minister and super architect Paul Keating called it a 'full-frontal assault' on the system. A financial whiz-kid I definitely am not..on the contrary, I'm a math-dickhead..but I know enough to know that if innocent dickheads syphon their super & flood the market with MILLIONS of bucks in available cash, it will be a feeding-frenzy for the sharks..Please..dump Morrison.. $50k will be totally absorbed in higher house prices, and people will lose $360,000 of super over a 25 year period based on historical returns. A disgraceful dud policy Liberal have been hell bent on destroying Super for years. Why do you think they allowed ppl access their Super in 2020? It wasn't out of the 'goodness' of their hearts🙄. Jason Clare is 100% right here. But don't take my word for it, just ask the experts who say the same thing.
