Take off the exempted CGT for owners upgrading their homes, 70% of the market is right there.30% is a large proportion of the market.
They need to cap the price of a standard family home to wages and inflation somehow.As I see it, an unbiased outsider looking in would be wondering why, exactly, Australians have decided to borrow a fortune in order to own the same patches of dirt and piles of bricks they already had.
The answer, of course, is that getting young people to take on massive debt in order to hand the money to older people, and in a big picture sense that's exactly what it amounts to, is really just a way to keep the party going in the face of structural economic decline.
We need get back to creating real wealth rather than the current mentality of smashing every piggy bank we can find, running down the inventory of everything in the cupboard, selling off the farm piece by piece and running up massive debts with anyone who'll lend.
Debt is how they make people work harder than they would without it.*Conspiracy theory*
The banks and politicians are basically making slaves with the price of housing. Both benefit from it. I wonder if there's more to the story?
Always the investor's fault?
They turned it into almost "generational slaves". Not to mention they have both parents working.
And on the same basis, those with religious or cultural beliefs should be able to recite and follow their beliefs, without being vilified, penalised, or ostracised for having those beliefs.
As long as it doesn't cause violence, or finacial loss to other groups.
But even that is a bit far fetched, many young families use holiday homes as it's much cheaper than other accommodation in certain holiday destinations. Then in places like Byron Bay how is the average family going to afford to rent there while working in the fish and chip shop? There just aren't the jobs in small holiday towns to sustain most young families living there. Freeing up 5% of the housing will do sweet nothing. The Greens are on another planet, after they run the housing market into the ground and forgo all the extra taxes involved, who will they come after next?No, I said rapid population growth is a factor. There may also be others, but it's undeniable that investors are part of the problem, especially those who buy holiday homes and leave them vacant, hence proposals for a "vacancy tax".
It's at the point where the general public will going after them. There's a reason all these premiers quit. They were getting abused in the streets., who will they come after next?
The problem with social housing, is just the same as the electrical system, the private sector owning and operating it isn't a good model.No, I said rapid population growth is a factor. There may also be others, but it's undeniable that investors are part of the problem, especially those who buy holiday homes and leave them vacant, hence proposals for a "vacancy tax".
Yes there is only one group, who are allowed to be racially and religiously vilified in our society and everyone is having a field day.Or to people in their own "group" who don't necessarily share their beliefs.
Example, a woman of a certain faith who dated someone of another faith was harassed, tracked by her mobile phone then stabbed , but the civil rights "do-gooders" who rail against people attacking this faith haven't said a word about it.
I wonder why?
Stabbing victim who dated man of different faith got more than '2,500 texts and calls' in lead-up to attack
A young woman stabbed at an Adelaide shopping centre car park by her father who disapproved of her relationship with a man of a different faith, was inundated with texts and calls as her attackers tried to track her down, a court document reveals.www.abc.net.au
Akshully, there are two.Yes there is only one group, who are allowed to be racially and religiously vilified in our society and everyone is having a field day.
You will be sent to the naughty corner, you know you aren't allowed t say it, despite probably 80% of the population agreeing with you.Akshully, there are two.

I see both sides.You can buy houses these days with a 2% deposit. That's not offered to investors.
People think they're at school where they get a participating award, but the real world isn't like that because you have to work hard towards any real goal.
I want to know where all the money has gone from the sale of govt assets, Palaszczuk sold everything off here in Qld, schools, housing commission homes with large blocks, why wasn't money invested back into social housing?The same with social housing, when the Government built and owned them, they were rented to low income earners at a low price, when they moved on, it freed the house up for different tenants, the Government is in control of the rental yield and supply.
The Governments could increase their influence in the rent to buy schemes, where they basically go shares with a tenant in the house, then if it is sold the Government shares in the sale proceeds.
If the Government actually got involved in the supply and building of the house and land, it would add to the Apprenticeship pool, rather than importing skilled labour from overseas, which is the easy way but ends up with a 'race to the bottom' society IMO.

Labor's $220million 1000-bed quarantine centre given away for FREE
A $220 million quarantine centre has been handed over to a property magnate after only housing 730 tourists in the 1,000 bed facility over 14 months.www.dailymail.co.uk
At least the one here was paid for by the Feds, Queensland got two, one by the Feds and one that was built on private land, by the private company and paid for by the appreciative Queenslanders.One of the monuments to the complete,over the top, bonkers, insane, reaction to a fairly mild virus¹.
¹in the grand scheme of things.
I drive past our concentration camp here in WA quite frequently.... shake my head every time.
Now we will hear how they are only 15 year old children, who had an unfortunate childhood.Last post of the day:
When politicians care for their country..and seldomly leftists, it works.
I hope we will not need that in a few decades but we have a start
