[00:00:00]If we talk about the negative gearing ones, that's a that's one that hurts a lot of Aussies cuz like, you know, everyday moms and dads and people save up just with the hope sometimes just get one investment property. You know, they're they're trying to, you know, build some form of, you know, freedom in in their life and they're working in their job and, you know, they work up to to maybe buy an investment property or two if they're lucky. Like the stats start dropping off dramatically when you look at property ownership when you go from one or two and and three properties. So, yeah, really no one is immune from this. It doesn't matter your income bracket or whatever it may be.

[00:00:28]Like negative gearing is there they're looking at making these changes. So, if we start there, Billy, what are the key takeaways around the negative gearing one? Yeah, for briefly like what what they're changing. So, this one is very likely to be implemented quickly, I think, and possibly not repealed in the future. So, what are they saying?

[00:00:45]They're saying if you buy a property anytime after 7:30 p.m. Whatever What was yesterday? 12th of May. 7:30 p.m.

[00:00:52]12th of May. If you buy a property after that point in time, you do not get to negatively gear. Sorry, you get to negatively gear for 1 year, right? Until the end of next financial year. After that, you are not allowed to negative gear. So, any cash flow losses on that property, you can't use that as a tax deduction against your salary or other income.
