Luckily I have never put a price on my boat and fishing gear I probably could retire now if I had invested that money.[/quote]

Can't agree with this. This Gov will look at every opportunity to tax you. Negative gearing only exist because the Gov wanted to tax the earnings, so to say its a Taxpayer funded handjob is completely off track. People working hard in life to get ahead shouldn't "irk" you.

Let's look at it this way if you have a positively geared property, you've pay your Deposit, Stamp Duty, your 20% equity,and your loan repayments with post taxed $$, your income from the property is taxed, and when you sell it at a profit there's CGT. you also have to pay a yearly land tax for rental properties. The system is heavily weighted against earning more.
It will be the people that have have sufficient investments that won't be draining the pension at the end either.
