Maybe. You don't deduct it from the capital gains, it's add to the cost base.

  • (Proceeds) - (cost base) = Capital gain/loss


You can add the interest expense, that couldn't be a deduction and came from the loan used for purchasing the property you let your mother and brother live in, to the cost base

Deductibility of a loan depends on the purpose and not what is used as security. Redraw is considered a new loan.
