The government just banned a strategy used by less than 1% of property buyers β and called it "protection."
It's not protection. It's a lie.
Here's what they're not telling you:
πΈ It raises just $50 million over four years. The budget is ~$700 BILLION a year. This was never about money.
π SMSF property loans carry average gearing of 39% β LESS risk than the average homebuyer. Multiple government reviews found NO systemic danger.
π€ The real reason? A deal with the Greens to pass an unrelated tax bill. Your retirement got traded in a backroom.
π€₯ In May 2025, the Treasurer promised he had "no intention" of banning this. A year later, he did it anyway.
This hits everyday Australians β the tradie, the small business owner, the mum rebuilding after divorce β not the "wealthy investors" they want you to picture.
β³ The window closes around mid-August 2026, ~45 days after Royal Assent. After that, it's gone.
π Share this so every Australian knows what just got taken from them.
