Caves are still affordable.

Albanese has a short memory.  His mother was given welfare and housing in the inner west of Sydney to raise her son in security.  Whilst living on welfare might have meant being financially disadvantaged at times, it did offer security and a stable home life. That is something Albo denies the vulnerable families of today. His attitude is despicable towards the working poor and those without financial security. He doesn't care that renters are being kicked out and replaced with those who can pay more in a city that is 2nd in the world for unaffordable housing. He just increases his already impressive property portfolio. He doesn't care that vulnerable people without any support cannot get welfare housing and are placed on never ending housing lists. He doesn't care that there is only 1 home for every 4 applicants in Sydney. If he did, he would stop bringing in millions of migrants well knowing that they would put an impossible demand on virtually non existent housing.

All he cares about is a big Australia and filling the country up with millions more to satisfy big business, multi nationals and greedy govts. And being the little scumbag he is, he panders to his multi millionaire donors. He doesn't care that parents and their kids are being kicked out of rental housing losing the security of living in the same area, attending the same school and having the same friends like he had as a kid. No wonder there are so many mental health issues for kids and their mums trying to get ahead but failing because of his govt's immigration policies.

And all the while he allows foreign millionaires to buy up much of our housing creating a terrible demand that pushes prices beyond what an average wage earner could ever afford.

Seems he has a forgotten the time a more socially responsible govt showed compassion towards him and his mother and gave them a stable home and security.

You probably couldn't afford one of those Bobby.

Who would want to live in a high rise dump?

It's also a death trap in a fire.

and what is the cost of travel from your fictitious affordable town to the nearest capital ?

There is very limited choice in “ where I want to live “, in fact it’s not just me, it’s a housing crisis.

Australia is vast, we have land to spare inland but absolutely zero infrastructure to attract anyone.

With some vision it could be a viable solution.

It’s been successful overseas

The various VFT proposals were a good way to open the inland up but every time someone proposed it, they got shot down by idiots claiming it cost to much.
