The claim
Scott Morrison lambasted Labor’s proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax during a recent appearance on Sydney radio, using police officers as an example of those who may be affected.
“I do know that one in five police officers have an investment property,” the Prime Minister said.
“And they don’t have five and six and seven and all this rubbish Labor goes on with.
“They have one, and this is what they’re investing in for their future.”
So, do police officers who own investment properties have just “one”, as the Prime Minister claimed?
