Who would have thought that neglecting Australia’s supply chains, infrastructure and industry capacity, while trading in our sovereignty for the fanciful promise of future toys to defend us from imaginary threats would lead to the Government’s current inability to ‘KEEP AUSTRALIANS SAFE’?

They're talking about government-mandated #RentControl. The article doesn't mention it, because #jermalisms, but we have it in #Canberra. My #rent went up $5/week last year; were we still in #Brisbane, we'd be paying exactly twice what we were five years ago.

We don't have a #HousingAffordability problem in #Australia—we have a politician problem. There's simply no political will at state or federal levels to rein landlords in.
