No Aus citizen, should ever be competing against a non-Aus citizen, to buy a home in Aus.
Same with every country.
Would also have majority public support, in every country.
Fuck Labor.
What does an Australian worker deserve?
If an Aus worker does 38 hours, even on min wage, they deserve the dignity of being able to own a home.
Anything less, is deliberate market failure.
..at max 30% of wages.

Landlord kicking off the new year with a ~$100 a week increase.

Not blaming my landlord.
He or she doesn't make the decision to add hundreds of thousands of extra renters per year.
Albo does.
Minister for Immigration approved too many visas.
This is his best excuse, for why he did..
I'm blocked by Andrew Giles, along with many others.
Comments are turned off for the Age tweet below.
Labor are too terrified to have a sober debate.
Immigration Minister Andrew Giles says skilled migrants are needed to build new homes, warning Australia must engage in a sober debate on the pressure the surge of overseas arrivals is placing on the housing crisis.

A foreign government or terrorist organisation can deposit up to $1 million into the account of a member of parliament and the consequence is the Prime Minister can just walk off and not answer any more questions.

Here’s 3 reasons NO independent should back an LNP Gov if we have a hung parliament:
Liberals voted AGAINST:
1 retrospective ICAC
2 Steggall climate bill
3 Refering the Porter donations for investigation
@RNBreakfast
A minister receiving a large donation needs to show, via the contact details of the donor, that the donor is not a foreign citizen.
How will Mr Porter comply with this requirement?
Last night, Chalmers tried to reassure us.
This morning in Melb I read,
"Rental inflation 11.5% in 2023"
on an Australian news ticker..
Labor running rental inflation at 11% for all three years of their term?
Labor getting schooled by Sloan..

Imagine having to move back in with your parents, because Labor are in power.
Rental vacancy rates are still at record lows.
More pain is coming.
If you rent, what's your plan for the next rent hike?
#auspol
Albo doubled down:
"We have a comprehensive housing plan...it's about supply"
"There's no easy solution, we need to build supply & that's why we're investing in public housing."
Reality: Call Andrew Giles, & tell him to calm down with the visa approvals. Job done.
“What’s crazy about the ponzi is 69 per cent of immigrants are in rental stress, with outgoings greater than income, the second worst group after the elderly."
Why bring more people in, if we are all in rental/mortgage stress now?

26,500 homes per electorate with a 10kW system installed worth $10k per home = $40 billion.
Build the factory in Australia.
Put the Liberals last.
Did you know Labor / Liberal / Greens / Teals allow people from other countries to buy existing homes in Aus, if they knock it down & build two+?
No requirement to rent them out.
Bring dirty money to Aus & park it in property.
Why should Aus families have to compete with this?
The Member for Calare, the Hon Andrew Gee MP, has introduced the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Foreign Entities Bill 2024 in the House this morning.
ℹ To find out more, see: .
Labor:

..while we allow foreign buyers, organised crime, Boomers using super & equity mate, & speculators using NG, to outbid you.
#auspol
Labor's Help to Buy will wipe up to 40% off the cost of buying a home for many low and middle-income earners.
It's disappointing to see the Greens and Liberals block a proposal that could be a life changer for so many renters looking to buy their own home.
#auspol
Hi, I'm from the government.
we are going to bring in an extra 200,000 workers per year to help with the rental stress problem.
Thank you,
And have a nice day.
@ak_pennington
Good idea.
And if NSW opposition doesn’t have the courage to fill the power vacuum, whoever steps up to do it properly will be rewarded by the public.
if renters could all stop renting for a bit..

This is The Age with the bold solutions on declining home ownership rates..
With the compulsory Grattan supply side only solutions..
Good piece

There's really no compelling reason for allowing investment losses to be offset against wage and salary income for tax purposes, especially while there is a capital gains tax discount.
$5k to spend on an imaginary rental.
Want a real rental?
You need to vote this man out.
Why?
Because he runs the rental vacancy rate at 0.7%
=99.3% of all rentals are occupied
The $5000 escaping violence payments are available now.
Because if you need to leave to keep yourself and your family safe, we want you to know you can afford it.
Labor won't debate this topic.
Labor, Liberal, Greens & Teals are silent about population/immigration at election time.
Not a whisper.
All are committed to adding hundreds of thousands of extra renters during their term in office.
@TimWilsonMP
Yesterday I was talking to a family in Bentleigh who said you weren’t helpful when they needed your help as a federal representative.
You’ve been pushing for renters to drain their super for over a year now.
Carry on.

Mr Frydenberg, when you consider all the rorting of taxpayers money which has been going on, is there a Total figure, which comes to mind?

Do you believe in MMT?

If safety is your highest priority, why did your Gov sell off Darwin & Newcastle ports?

Taxpayers have to pay more in rent assistance because your team are keeping the rental vacancy rate down at 1%
A 1% rental vacancy rate means 99% of rentals in Australia are occupied, punishing renters & rewarding landlords

The apology you have pinned to your profile appears sincere to me.
What specifically about the apology you have chosen to pin to your profile do you feel isn’t sincere?
How do we know if Labor are listening?
The national rental vacancy rate has been 0.8% for three months.
If Labor are listening, we will see the vacancy rate rise.
0.9%
then 1.0%
then 1.2%
If it stays at 0.8%, Labor have no intention of fixing the rental crisis.
Simple.
"Australia needs banks to invest in businesses, not houses."
If we started paying down the total $2,239.80 billion Aus residential mortgage with the banks..
While the banks increase business lending by the same amount..
We will all win.
Simple.
@JoshFrydenberg
What’s the point though?
You won’t vote in parliament for a strong retrospective ICAC, you’re too scared to debate Steggall on climate & there’s no consequence for $1 million in the pocket from anonymous donors.
Why pretend to listen to the issues voters in Kooyong care about?
if you live in Sydney & want housing to be more affordable, you need to run against Labor, Liberal, Greens & Teals.
All of the above support house prices rising faster than wages every year.
All support Aussies being outbid by people from other countries.
#auspol
@DaveTaylorNews
Wonder how renters would feel if they knew prospective landlords can add roughly 80% of the annual rent they’re paying to their mortgage application to help them outbid a home buyer.
It’s not negative gearing.
There’s no catchy word for it, yet.
Renters are being buried alive.
@JoshFrydenberg
Some facts Josh Frydenberg won’t say:
Taxes need to increase right now to balance the budget.
Or services could be cut to balance the budget.
Or we could continue borrowing at still low rates.
Or we could abolish negative gearing to encourage more productive investments.
@abcnews
A more productive focus would be asking when the Prime Minister is going to vote for the Greens retrospective integrity commission which has already passed the Senate.
He can’t hide under a rock for ever.
Tomorrow, Max & Speers will talk about:
> negative gearing
Max won't mention:
> A 5% rental vacancy rate, to save renters
> the bill by Andrew Gee, to pause foreign buyers
Max wants to play games with Albo, not fight for renters.
