Allow the deduction to only be for the income generated by the property, making it zero gearing. You could also/or limit the value of the property and/or only allow 1 property per taxpayer.

Re: Reds v Crusaders official match thread
I hope I'm wrong, but I expect the saders to dominate by more than 25 points.
Only chance of that not happening is if McCaw and Robinson swap bodies in some sort of Freaky Friday type incident.

Interesting that the wasp doesn't use its main advantage (flight), until it absolutely has the ascendancy. Must be a real chance of injuring the wings otherwise.

One risk of picking Skelton is that he may top out as it might take the incentive for him to get better as he has made it.
