What’s Making Headlines: The budget’s billion-dollar property shake-up

Join host Annie Kane and senior journalist Charlie Tchetchenian as they review the fallout from a high-stakes federal budget that has effectively declared war on speculative investing.

With the government looking to bridge a massive “intergenerational equity” gap, the team explores what the removal of negative gearing for established dwellings – and the overhaul of capital gains tax – means for your investor clients.

The journalists also unpack the courtroom drama unfolding between Hai Money and Finsure and the ongoing consolidation and M&A activity in the broking industry.

This week, they discuss:

• Why the federal budget is axing negative gearing and capital gains tax discounts for established properties to level the playing field for first home buyers.
• The Supreme Court battle between Hai Money and Finsure following the termination of a sub-aggregation agreement.
• How a flurry of revised cash rate forecasts from the big four banks has brokers preparing for a “higher for longer” interest rate environment.

And much more!
