Bobby, you've been conned.

A favourite centuries old tactic of politicians is divide and conquer. You are not only stupid enough to fall for it, you're so stupid you do the politicians dirty work for them.

You never went though point by point by point discuss my objections.

That's because they're irrelevant. The CAUSE of all that is SUPPLY. The supply of land, materials and LABOUR.

Again for the 3rd time:

Australia is already in the midst of extreme housing poverty.

Adults have been forced to go and live with their parents due to high rents.

4 to 6 Uni students share a one bedroom unit or flat to afford rent.

Adults are couch surfing with friends until their welcome runs out.

A whole family can often live in a one bedroom flat or apartment -
husband and wife and 4 kids or more.

People are living in cars and caravans.

People can't even afford caravan parks - they park up by the beach
and go to swimming pool showers to wash themselves and use a toilet.

Australia has been slowly destroyed by successive Govts.
but none can compare with Albanese -
mass immigration as we've never seen before with nowhere to live.

New points, eh? Given up the third world for -

Couch surfing.

Thanks for the pic, Bobby. Send it through to our Canadian friends, will you?

Those cunts currently have the world's highest standard of living.

Oh, and you just moved out of mom's.

Lose weight now ask me how, no?

The year the Australian dream died

Published

2 hours ago

A line of people waiting to inspect a house in Sydney

At the age of 31, Justin Dowswell never imagined he'd be living in a shared room in his childhood home.

He had a full-time, well-paying job in Sydney, and had rented for a decade before an unprecedented housing crisis forced him to upend his life and move back in with his parents, two hours away.

"It's humbling," he says. But the alternative was homelessness: "So I'm one of the lucky ones".

It's a far cry from the promise of the Great Australian Dream.

A perfect storm

Almost everything that could go wrong with housing
in Australia has gone wrong,

says Michael Fotheringham.

"The only thing that could make it worse is if banks started collapsing," the head of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute tells the BBC.

Underpinning it all is that buying a house is astronomically expensive - the average property now costs about nine times an ordinary household's income, triple what it was 25 years ago.

For generations, owning a house on a modest block of land has been idealised as both the ultimate marker of success and a gateway to a better life.

It's an aspiration that has wormed its way into the country's identity, helping to shape modern Australia.

Particularly critical was what happened at the turn of the millennium, he argues. Until that point house prices in Australia had kept pace with income growth and the size of the economy - but this began to shift when the federal government introduced tax changes which incentivised the buying and selling of homes for profit.

A sharp spike in immigration and
government grants pushed up house prices in that era too,

but Mr Kohler says it was these tax breaks that forever changed the way Australia thinks about housing.

"It will be impossible to return the price of housing to something less destructive... without purging the idea that housing is a means to create wealth as opposed to simply a place to live," he wrote.

The homeless father was then arrested in a move that has sparked outrage

Homeless father charged with trespassing
Top silk came to his aid and had charges dropped

By Freddy Pawle For Daily Mail Australia

Published: 14:48 AEDT, 28 December 2023 | Updated: 18:51 AEDT, 28 December 2023

A homeless father was arrested after trying to look for a warm place to sleep on Christmas in what has been blasted as a move to 'criminalise' the disadvantaged.

David Evans, 57, slept at the indoor carpark on Frome Street, in Adelaide's CBD, to escape 13C weather on Saturday and the following night on Christmas Eve.

He was arrested and charged with trespassing before spending Christmas Day behind bars.

Mr Evans faced a tough legal battle ahead of him until South Australia's top barrister Mary Shaw KC stepped in to help him and successfully had his charges dropped.

Ms Shaw was far from pleased with the overall experience claiming it was an attempt to 'criminalise' homelessness in the state.

why does that matter sorry

even if you can actually buy australian property, and quite frankly a lot of people can or could if they worked towards it, doesn't mean its at prices anyone should have to pay for it

framing this whole debate around 'affordability' was a mistake bc it allows this kind of weasel bullsh1t to fester and obfuscate the issue

we don't need 'affordable' housing, but housing at the lowest possible price tag, and there's a distinction between those two things

Not with inheritance money -
not an AV Jennings home.
You really do like making up stories.
Actually I downsized - I was fed up with spending whole weekends doing:
lawn mowing, edging, whipper snipping, flat weed removal & pruning.
Having a house and 600

m2

of lawns, no longer became my dream.
