State budgets tinkering around the edges of our housing crisis : Comments

By Graham Young, published 4/7/2024

The reason why we are struggling to build new homes is because the states have loaded their tax systems onto the housing sector.

Dramatically restrict immigration? It was Rudd Labor that first pushed it past 300K, now Albanese Labor has sailed past 500K.

It's unlikely to ever fall much below 300K again, unless some future Coalition government displays unlikely courage and nous. Yes, that includes a purge of the radicalised and terminally-woke federal Immigration agency.

There is only one hope for the dispossessed in a housing crisis facilitated by the uncaring controllers of the Titanic Au, stagflation with an accompanying high inflation.
Within time, and with more pain to some than others, it’ll all work out.

So far I see no evidence of serious concern among the crowd “Steve S” describes very accurately above.

We don't have a housing crisis: we have an immigration crisis. Too many people being brought here. Most of them the wrong sort of people.

Import the Third World, become the Third World.

All the tents and people sleeping in doorways looks very Third Worldish already.

Scapegoating immigration as the major cause of the housing shortage in Australia is shortsighted. Cutting immigration is a popular knee-jerk reaction from those on the right of politics, seeing it as the panacea for a complex problem. At best immigration is only a small contributor to the housing problem, at worse cuts would have a negative impact for the economy, far outstripping positive gains in the property market.

Beating the anti immigration, anti foreigners, anti refugees drum is always popular with the far right bottom feeders.

Our resident anti-white racist would of course say what he said, it's to be expected from it.
Does he have information as to why Muslim countries don't offer immigration ?
There are many whom I share my ethnic background with whom I wouldn't let in & would prefer to deport because they're the one fostering those proponents of disunity ! So, am I racist towards my own ethnicity ? Or, am I simply seeing what many prefer to not look at hoping it'll go away ? The Europeans have started to look at it !

Putting up wages with the inevitable rise in costs has resulted in Australian made to be uncompetitive internationally & unaffordable locally.
Greed is a two-way street here !
