Demonised Landlords | Q+A

Ann-Maree Eastman asked: Why do politicians feel that they need to keep taxing or changing the rules for how to claim our legitimate business expenses. Owning property is a business and takes time and effort to make sure all is running smoothly.
I'm just so angry that as a landlord I shouldn't have to feel guilty about owning property. Why does it appear that all landlords are demonised and put in the same bucket?
Panellists: Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities & Treasury Andrew Leigh, Shadow Assistant Minister for Home Ownership Andrew Bragg, Greens Spokesperson on Housing & Homelessness Max Chandler-Mather, NSW Minister for Housing & Homelessness Rose Jackson, SNAICC - National Voice for our Children Catherine Liddle and Economist & author Cameron Murray.

Q+A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking and debating.
It is driven by interaction: Q+A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q+A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.
We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences.
It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go.
In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience.
This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation KZbin channel.
