Treasurer Scott Morrison is sticking to his guns on housing investment tax concessions, saying making changes to negative gearing like those proposed by Labor would disadvantage middle-class families.
The treasurer estimates voters split 50/50 on the issue at the July 2 federal election, a result that hasn't persuaded him to change his mind.
"I don't accept the argument on negative gearing ... it would disadvantage those middle-class families, those ordinary families, the vast majority of who are the predominant investors in this area," Mr Morrison told ABC radio on Wednesday.
