Thank God you guys have Jacinda, though.
Our government doesn't have the balls to get rid of negative gearing, let alone completely nullifying tax deductions on mortgage repayments.
You have stamp duty and all sorts of other measures in place at a state level (looking at Land Tax in QLD) that at least generates revenue from this. New Zealand has none of these, and as a result property flipping is rampant - the turnover of property is 3-5x higher in parts of NZ than anywhere else in AU.
