Key points

It would make house prices increase by more than the maximum amount people could withdraw
It would cost the government $1 trillion in the long run
It would leave people with $200k less in retirement savings
It would significantly affect the returns on all superannuation as funds would need to keep more cash reserves uninvested so it is available for withdrawal
