Hockey on foreign ownership
The issue of foreign ownership of housing has come up in the Federal Election campaign.
Last night Coalition leader Tony Abbott was asked about it at a forum in Sydney as he vowed to protect real neighbourhoods.
Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey says they're not planning on changing the laws just yet.
Mr Hockey also says the Coalition will focus on delivering lower and fairer taxes for the Australian people.
The Liberal party have already ruled out putting a tax on mining and carbon.
But Mr Hockey says he can't promise immediate tax cuts to personal income because of the defecit the Labor Government will leave behind.
