Please let this bill pass 🤞

ALP and Libs/Nats are too busy collaborating with each other on electoral funding reform, EPBC Act reform, and RBA reform.
Neither actually want cheaper housing.

The Federal parliament has done absolutely nothing about building new housing, despite claiming it to be a national emergency, what? a year ago now?
Where is the plan for more tradesmen, skilled labour, to build all this housing? Because the current industry is already short of most skills.

Government for the people eh!

clichi.bsky.social•98 days ago

is going to get worse much worse until we change the way we build houses

This was started by Howard's attack on Unions and workers rights.

house prices doubled when costello changed tax regarding houses and have been soaring since

biged71.bsky.social•99 days ago

Both are more interested in securing 100’s of millions in taxpayers $$ to build and even BIGGER election warchest!

That’s the Lamer Party. Great time to invest in a multimillion beach front property tho 🙄

The graph looks terrible for the current administration but it doesn't show the cumulative lag effect of years of Coalition neglect.

David, do you have the figures from say 1975 to present?

50% of my income goes to my rent.

cottles.bsky.social•98 days ago

More than 50% of ours. : (
Life exhausting.

Thanks David. Shocking statistics replicated here👇 in a different form and my take for what it’s worth! Social housing needs to play a bigger role. It’s the clearest way to address escaping affordability.

To be fair, the major parties only ever think in 3½yr cycles. Useless pricks, the lot of 'em. Need more cross benchers to force them to actually negotiate for the betterment of the country, not themselves.

Start with the territory you live in. It is expensive and unliveable. The zero stamp duty idea made a bad problem worse due to people starting to pay over $10000 a year in rates now #auspol
