It's not just Sky News, Fairfax & Nine. It's all the Federal MPs - on both sides of the house - who are landlords. Right up to, and including, the Prime Minister.

"The ALP would *like* to do something about it..."

You're dreaming. For plenty of Labor MPs, doing something about it is the last thing they'd like.

Here’s a #HousingAffordability question I’ve been thinking about: as we build more housing, will it become cheaper to build through economies of scale? Per square foot costs are more than twice what they were at the start of the crash in 2008. It seems like growing demand for building material and labor is just going to drive those prices even higher.

If 15% of the pre-pandemic rent needs to be paid. That would be more than enough for now.

Are you able to elaborate on details?
