Well….not only up goes house prices, but up goes house break ins and crime … how can we protect our home and ourselves with lax laws under labor?
It’s gotten worse in recent times and there won’t be any overnight changes anytime soon.
People had to scream out to our Vic labor leader to change the bail laws! Why does it take that much to understand?

Not even 24 hours after the election and you've already made up you mind about the next 3 years...

Certainly doesn't sound like you're open to accepting anything other than that no matter what Labor does.

Can only go by past performance ….
I won’t hold my breath for radical changes.
If it happens there are changes for better, it will be slow… like walking through treacle.
Victoria is probably worst than any other state, so that’s where I’m coming from.
Now, having said that… since Albanese has a full mandate with more members in parliament maybe he can do more that’s beneficial?
What do you reckon will happen next 3 years?

Today is a good day

In the end it took just two hours to call time on two decades in politics.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton lost the Brisbane seat he has held for 24 years to Labor, one of a long list of Coalition casualties in a landslide victory that delivered the government a second term.

The Dickson result — which came in just hours after polls closed and shortly after the race was called in Labor's favour — makes Mr Dutton the first opposition leader in Australian history to lose their own seat at a federal election.

Probably because crims are Labor voters. Roll Eyes

Reply #72 - May 4^th, 2025 at 11:28am It is pretty certain that Labor will have at least 6 years and likely 9 years from here since the Liberals have been smashed yesterday. It's hard to see where the Libs go from here. Perhaps they need to re-brand? You know, like a failed company sometimes re-names itself and tries again.

nahh - when there will be riots in the streets the Libbos will gain more votes.

Where will all the millions of migrants on their way here live?

Where will all the Aussies live?

Perhaps now Labor can finally begin dismantling some of the Howard-era structural rot that continues to artificially prop up the housing market, fuelling unaffordability and more modern Liberal policy that has distorted the balance between supply and demand.

The Coalition has been a deliberate roadblock to any meaningful reform in this space for decades, protecting entrenched interests while everyday Australians are priced out of shelter. Labor now has the opportunity, and the mandate, to act decisively.

Let’s hope they have the political will to follow through.
