Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Keir Starmer's Labour isn't fixing the asylum housing crisis — it's just moving migrants from overpriced hotels into private landlord properties, handing public money to profiteers along the way.
Communities lose out. Vulnerable people lose out. But Serco and landlords cash in.
When will we get real solutions instead of another handout to the private sector?

Why Are So Many Americans Homeless? 🏚️🇺🇸
In this clip from my Sharpe Way Show LIVE on YouTube, I react to an interview from Breaking Points where journalist Brian Goldstone blames credit scores, private equity, and a lack of tenant rights for America's homelessness crisis. 📉 But is he right? I break down why these claims miss the real issue.

The problem is for the Left is that it isn't even advocating for more reasonable numbers of immigration. We will have never-ending homelessness of Australians who will be displaced by incoming immigrants because intake levels will always be multiples of housing we can build.
Australian society will be divided into two classes: landlords / property holders and renters.

“#PeterDutton said there was “a lot of anger in the #suburbs,” with many families unable to put #food on the table.
“That’s the reality of life for many Australians under #AnthonyAlbanese, and I think there are many Australians in outer #metropolitan areas who feel that this prime minister hasn’t been honest, he’s out of his depth, that he has prioritised the interests of #Greens voters in inner city, #Sydney and #Melbourne, many of whom are quite #affluent.”
The opposition leader said Albanese had abandoned people in regions and in the outer suburbs.
“We see families who are doing it hard, they’re not going to vote for Labor this time, and they may have been Labor voters all their lives.”

Vote for CHECKS & BALANCES. Give Independents and Minor Parties a balance of power. We ALL have a Choice : Do we want the SAME? Or do we want REAL change?
Reduce the power of the major parties.
Make them LISTEN.

And people wonder why we can't get housing built. Toronto city council has overwhelmingly voted to block the proposed housing at 160 Homewood Ave, based on:
- Proposed 3-storey 4-plex covers 34.8% of the lot, compared to 30% permitted
- Height of 10.65 metres, compared to 10.0 metres allowed, "posing massing and coverage issues disproportionate to the neighbourhood".
In a housing crisis.
