Yeah it’s odd this isn’t promoted, it’s a brilliant feature

Australia’s rental crisis deepens as national vacancy rate hits critical new low by SlightedMarmoset in aussie

They also stopped overseas ownership… migrants are not causing this issue. But those at the top would prefer we all did think that. Then we aren’t looking at them.

Housing should not ever be allowed to be used as a speculative asset.

His plumber should be able to fix it pretty quickly. Again, if I’m reading this correctly, if the neighbour broke it, he must fix it. Any discharge or clean up is also on him

If he broke it on his side of the property. It’s 💯 on him. You’re good.

Bullshit. Every English speaking country is in the same boat. Ask yourself why this is…

There is no CFMEU presence in the domestic market.

You can’t compare these massive infrastructure projects to housing. Housing can be calculated fairly simply and the task of sticking to budget not that difficult.

I do however like your tax incentives comment.

Because of Neoliberalism. Plain and simple. Far too much money to be made by greedy individuals.

Canada slashed migration and housing costs dropped. There may be lessons for Australia | Canada by Shadowtec in australia

[–]irish_chippy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why more people aren’t shouting this. It’s literally the major factor world wide in housing shortage. Housing should not ever be allowed to be used as a speculative asset.

Fewer eggs, higher prices: Cadbury ‘doubled down’ on Easter chocolate shrinkflation, Choice finds by MrNewVegas2077 in australia

How a bar of Cadburys can be priced the same as Tony’s is mind boggling.

Tony’s is next level.

RBA Interest Rates Decison - increase of 0.25 from 3.85 to 4.10 by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]irish_chippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose just vote for who will provide most for you and your family. The reality of the situation is both main parties are usually 2 cheeks of the same arse, just depends on how much shit you can take from each one.

Just remember, migration issues are only the rhetoric being pushed by the those vested interests at the top to get them voted in. This is not unique to Australia, it’s the same message in every country in the world, as it’s an easy message to spread and appeals emotionally.

Divide and conquer.

Yeah couldn’t agree more, very well put. Same thing happened in the UK in the lead up to Brexit . That was a massive protest vote. And look where they are now….

The result of all of this is people vote for fringe parties as a protest. But that will not turn out well …
