    Mate, I don't need to watch it, when successive governments simply "address" affordability with dumb shit like first homeowners grants, which have been shown to only push up values for the next lot of folk, thus necessitating even bigger grants, it doesn't take a genius to work out that policy...

    it does get you on side for the goal kick quicker and without getting too puffed, so not entirely useless. #durries@halftime.

    Nah, you'll keep tryin' cause you're a sucker for punishment. And again, you are the one that keeps mentioning race, I'm yet to use the term in this argument at all. Yes they did for a time, this is called correlation, not causation. But then they began to rise, and rise they did before...

    Wrong again ImTheSpam, dog whistling doesn't have to be about race. But in this case it will fire up the racist elements for sure. The right just love them some of that good old fashioned nationalism. Yet again though I note your failure to address the point and spear off on another tangent...

    Immigration is not the problem, sure increased immigration numbers has to put short term pressure on housing, but yet again, rents and house prices started rising ( again ) , and rose greatly prior to immigration being resumed, this is irrefutable, and as such tells us there are other issues at...

    What a load of f**king Dribble. With Spud as your source mate I'm sure you'll be edumacated in no time. I like how he starts out by stating the problems he's gonna talk about, and then states they weren't there five years ago as a base, Labors been in government for two years......... Then...

    Those that were "due" to arrive is f**king meaningless, they arrived or they didn't, simple. I've shown you the immigration numbers mate. They are sourced in a post above. It is a fact that the acceleration of the growth in rents began well before immigration restarted. In fact it began when...

    Mate, the data is right there, I can't help you read it, I'm sorry. Yes people moved out of the city to the regions during 2020 and early 2021, this put pressure on rentals and growth in regional areas, and reduced that pressure in cities, rents were flat in cities during that time, but overall...

    I've not mentioned race. Well no, not even close. growth slowed initially in cities then as per above the opposite happened. You're out of your depth, you can't just lie your way through here mate. Well all the indicators are now saying otherwise, again facts are not your friend.

    Again a dog whistle repeated is still a dog whistle https://www.realestate.com.au/news/biggest-surprises-of-australias-rental-market-revealed/ As can be seen from above, growth in rents accelerated from mid 2020 on, when there was negative net immigration - and peaked in December 2022 then...

    Mate, the current Labor federal government came to office in May 2022. House prices dropped in early 2020, then from mid 2020 through to mid 2022 is where the excessive growth was, that's nationwide, and near all markets https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/australia/house-prices-growth So...

    Yeah, but what irks me the most is how all them brown folk created "the housing crisis" during Covid without even coming here. They're taking all our jerbs and collecting all that sweet welfare and clogging up our roads sitting on their arse doin' nothing.

    I dunno what you expect Suity, this here's a thread for politics and current affairs? Now US politics is all kinds of f**ked up at the moment, and it aint likely to be getting any better any time soon. But it is entertaining. Cheer-leading aside of course.
