Well, the implementation (as linked: http://www.futuretax.gov.au/documents/attachments/Announcement_document.pdf) is fairly well documented.

As for other issues: (a) the people who really cocked up the roof insulation programme are the installers - they should prosecuted with aggressive vigour (b) the Internet filter is driven by conservatives both within and outside the government and I suspect the Opposition's silence on the matter is tacit agreement.

The idea of foreigner's purchasing houses and receiving capital-gains exemptions is hardly new; indeed it's been the case for decades. Indeed the government ought to be congratulated for taking action on this issue. I am not sure how you make the claim that this increases housing prices however. Do you mean land price?
