The duopoly prefer us to be vulnerable.

Every renter in QLD is worse off for having voted for federal Labor.

I doubt Putin takes orders from Labor.

Every renter in QLD is already worse off for having voted for Labor.

I would cancel the migration agreement with India & any similar ones with China or others & end the free flow with NZ.

Or back to South Africa.

If you head over to Macrobusiness and have a look at the chart of dwelling completions over time, you will see per 100,000 people, we build more homes than rest of OECD.
Despite this, Labor approve visas fast enough to keep crushing renters.
You want to talk about skin colour, culture or race?

Plenty of commentators will lie in public and say inviting an extra million plus renters in to compete in the rental market has "no impact".
All the orgs pretending to help renters are frauds.
Same with Greens.
(ie they won't say how to reduce rents & undo the damage)

There's no dispute the libs have been jacking house prices.

Not relevant.
Labor consciously screwed us renters since May 2022.

Andrew Giles was on twitter in the early days bragging about how many staff he hired to approve all the visa requests.
comment in response to
post
Incorrect.
Albo came to power in May 2022 when the rental vacancy rate was ~1%
If Anthony Albanese didn't invite in over a million renters AFTER this date, there would be no rental crisis today.

I'm in my forties & can still do extra shifts to survive.
What about the elderly on a pension who still rent?
Renters cannot afford another Labor gov.
comment in response to
post
Yeah there's that on the house price side.
But to deliberately run the rental vacancy rate at 1% for a whole term, 2% below neutral, destroys all credibility they are somehow a workers party.
They deserve to be crushed at the ballot box.

Babet & Palmer ready to take orders from Pauline?

Australia & other countries should be ramping up tariffs for this behaviour.

I take it you don't rent in Victoria.
I do & have to pay more rent because federal Labor are in power.
Vic state Labor have recently called for even more immigration, which makes the crisis worse.
Why should renters continue to suffer, under Labor?

Concede?
We both agree Australia is currently not in the possession of nuclear powered subs.
comment in response to

True, yet approaching end of life.
Nuclear subs can lurk for longer.

Could be a good early opportunity to punish Labor.
Obviously Mr Pallas is not federal, yet I doubt he did much to stick up for renters in Werribee.

I'm not referring to our current subs.

Some are already in the water.
Some need to be built.
Cost?
Very expensive.
comment in response to

Lots of water around Australia.
Reassuring to know we can sink any warships heading our way.
comment in response to
post
Agree.
Dutton has said he will run immigration in a very similar fashion as Albo is doing, so more pain to come for us renters.
Neutral is around 3%.
Notice Labor has kept it down close to 1% for a whole term.

What about keeping ourselves safe in the region AND having good highways?
comment in response to
post
Correct.
Labor the first to run it at 1% for a whole term.
If we run it at 5% for a whole term, rents come back down to where they were, before Labor came to power.

The wage theft is a good reason to cut their pay well below the PM/Treasurer.

The graph is simply what rents are doing.
The rental vacancy rate was coming down steeply at the end of Scomo & ~1% at handover in May 2022.
If Labor didn't import over a million renters after this date, there would be no rental crisis today.

Love a good highway.

In 2025, Australians will have their chance to reject your risky rental inflation track record.
And say no to an increase to their rents.

If Trump does high tariffs on imports from China, some of the above doesn't hold.
