Liberals Promise To Rip Up Homes And Lock Young Victorians Out

Today we announced how we’ll get more homes built in suburbs close to trains and trams.It’s part of our plan to help deliver 300,000 homes close to jobs, transport, schools and services by 2051. Jess Wilson’s Liberals didn’t hesitate.They ā€œguaranteedā€ they would ā€œrip upā€ these reforms – tearing homes away from young Victorians.They want to drag Victoria back to the same broken system that has locked up well-connected suburbs for 30 years.

@augustusbrown would it not be better to make property speculation less attractive therefore making more of the already available home available?

The fake gas and housing shortage is Australia’s real crisis

Australia doesn’t have a shortage of houses, a shortage of gas, or a shortage of bullshit about housing and gas supply. Australia is one of the world’s largest exporters of gas, but we’re often told we don’t have enough gas. Likewise, Australia has more houses and apartments -- in absolutes terms and per person -- than we did in the 1960s.
