I’m sure if we keep voting for the Libor and Laberal parties they will eventually fix it right?

    I’m not sure where in my comment you think I called you racist mate. A huge chunk of our immigration is from New Zealand & the UK anyway. Do the math, our population would be shrinking without it.

    Like other people have said, why not focus on supply instead? We should implement an aggressive property rates regime on unoccupied homes. The National Rental Affordability Scheme is coming to an end in 2 years time, but it could be re-funded with that money. As well as fast-tracking social housing projects.

    An outright ban on absentee foreign ownership of residential property would also probably help supply a lot. It’s ridiculous that someone who doesn’t have a right to live in Australia, can still own a home here.
