I don't get that you put so much emphasis on public housing, when interest rates are historically low, and are destined to remain so for a considerable time..(highly debatable of course).

Would you agree, this is a ripe moment to help all Australians into owning their own home.
Home ownership is a much more positive step than building public housing, only to be handed over to NGO's to plunder the needy for more money they don't have.

Please explain.

There was once a popular saying:
Bob Hawke was the greatest liberal Prime Minister Australia ever had.

Evidence is accumulating, (if only on these pages), Scott Morrison is the greatest Labor Prime Minister Australia has ever had.

I'll go along with that.

I think this is a joke. The Union movement buddying up to Scott Morrison and his bunch would be like the battered wife who keeps going back inside the house.

The Australian economy is broken and the only thing that can fix it is the very thing that broke it: China.

The Australian governments, bureaucracies and businesses will just have to bite the bullet and open the international borders virtually immediately to large scale Chinese migration and capital and probably follow Victoria in signing up to China's Belt and Road Initiative. The CCP is anxious to partner with leading Australians like Andrew Forrest as well as being able to send tens of millions of its nationals to reunite with their family members in Australia.

Over the past 30 years Australia's politicians, bureaucrats and business people have locked us into a Chinese future and If Australia is not willing to do this then it will just have to be satisfied with being a failed Third World nation.

It's good for Australia, it's good for jobs!

Obviously, and as sarcastic as he sounds, Mr Opinion is exactly on the mark.

It's difficult to imagine how Australia can perform an abrupt "U" turn in its cultural and economic development now.

The horse has long bolted. And so too are the self serving political class who engineered it all. Not to be seen.

Of course, Hawke is dead thankfully.

Speaking of Hawke: an edit correction from above. Bob Hawke was the greatest LNP Prime Minister Australia ever had. ( not small "l" liberal. He was hardly that!

Dan.

diver dan,

Sarcastic! Moi?

DD, I don't think there is a contributor to The Forum who would disagree with me.

seems to me everyone on 'safe' Government funded money have wrecked numerous small business's and are now going to have numerous talk fests about how bad the situation is. I am sure the pollies, union officials, abc, and corporates will still keep their huge salaries and benefits while the deplorables are left begging.
