The government should introduce more attractive savings products to encourage investment beyond negative gearing. For example, infrastructure bonds could offer incentives such as a 10% tax offset on investments of $10,000 (providing a $1,000 tax benefit), with the investment locked in for the first ten years and tradable thereafter. These bonds should also provide a competitive dividend yield to attract investors. Funds raised through these bonds could then be used to finance infrastructure development.
