Stamp duty must be abolished as promised, along with all other front loaded tax and land tax.
State governments need to cut their cloth to suit their budget, not front load until affordable housing (a human right) is just a memory.
It's the cost of urban land and all the parasite middlemen (commission sales people talking it up) that make housing unaffordable.
Their needs to be a pool of government money dedicated to low cost housing loans. With each house becoming a government asset that supports the credit side of the ledger so the pool simply grows and grows as homebuyers pay down their loans. Meaning more and more folk are able to buy into affordable (steel framed) housing.
And all with new immigration severely restricted, their employment better guaranteed!
I have no sympathy for loan sharks or rogue real estate investors price gouging homebuyers out of the marketplace. And would counter their callous practice with oversupply!
Oversupply would force the price of housing down and down, until every boy and his dog could afford to live in Christian dignity, in a home of their own! This would also assist and grow the economy as well as steel production here at home! and a win/win situation for all Aussies!
