Australian love to live under the illusion that they live in a democratic country when they don't. No Australian can rally others to get a government to hold a referendum on an issue that effects all Australians. Only the government gets to decide if a referendum can be held and then they usually only hold it if there's a good chance of the referendum going their way. If not then a referendum won't be held and the Australian people will live with the consequences like they always have because they're just so tolerant and absolutely compliant. Of course huge fines coupled with gaol terms keeps Australians compliant and afraid to speak out.

As a asian married to an Aussie and only living here after my hubby retired from teaching overseas, I am very surprised that Aussies put up with bad governance and bad policies by their state and federal govts. In Asia people take to the streets and protest. Even in Singapore, where protests are illegal without police permits, citizens protest online, at meet the people sessions with MPs and during election rallies. Aussies are very docile in comparison, and yet you have the right to protest and rally. The only rallies I have noted are for climate change or trans rights. Where's the rallies in front of Parliament houses for homelessness and bad policies affecting families including small children? And criminal laws here are so lax its actually sad. The laws are against victims of crimes.

Australia’s problem is trying to look good and impress the big boys G7 countries. The only reason we’re there is because of the mining industry. We have no business trying to be bigger than we can actually output. We don’t have other industries eg manufacturing except selling out to property investors. So here we are.

Pauline Hanson all those years back in the 1990s, made the topic of criticising immigration policies, almost taboo. Rather than focusing on excessive numbers of migrants, she focused on the ethnicity, which played into the hands big Australia proponents. As the word "racist" has been weaponized, into a tool to shout down anyone who doesn't want unlimited immigration. Unsustainable population growth affects almost every facet of life in Australia. From the environment, housing affordability, health (overwhelmed medical services) road congestion, education (class sizes). Population growth is almost relevant to any issue and immigration is what is growing the Australian population the most. What wrong with reducing the country's immigration intake, from record high levels in the hundreds of thousands to the historical immigration average of about 70,000 people per annum? I get frustrated that the majority of the electorate cannot differentiate the types of new arrival i.e asylum seeker vs economic immigrant. I also get frustrated that most Australian's don't realise that our population growth in Australia is driven mainly by immigration not births. I am a proud Australian, but I also have great respect and empathy for asylum seekers, fleeing their homeland as it is no longer safe. I even appreciate the reasons why economic immigrants come here, they're just seeking a better life for themselves and their families. The problem is, collectively they are impacting on existing Australians quality of life and that of the Australian environment. The short sighted government policies of the Liberal, Labor and Greens parties, using kick the can economics that requires a constant stream of new arrivals to make the economy "work" is unbelievable flawed.
Simple, because regular Australians do not want to pay more taxes. So the government imports more tax payers and consumers into the country. 70,000 new tax payers a year is still bad as the government needs its tax coffers to grow faster than the rate of inflation.
@boxman8957 so higher housing costs, road congestion, tolls, longer hospital and doctor wait times, decrease amenities, decrease social cohesion, more crowded class rooms that unsustainable imported population growth brings isn't very "taxing" on each one of us?
Spot on. My only issue is that 'asylum' seekers are not always genuine cases, when they travel past several countries to get to Australia shows that they only have a desire to get to Australia. Everything else you are spot on with. Greens call out for increased immigration but the pressure this puts on resources - land, wood and materials, power, gas and water plus pressure on emergency services such as police, ambulances, drs, hospitals and now housing.

@elliskaranikolaou2550 A lot do get something now. But I mean all working people being given government housing, government food, told what job they will do and for how long. Not being paid money , everything provided. Workers don't need overseas vacations or any luxury. As has been said, you will own nothing.
In that 176,000 builds last year I suspect there is a decent % of knockdown rebuilds which means the total increase is less. We force overseas buyers (which there should not be any) to do this.
@@Leithvo ANOTHER thing that is happening is the developers are doing things like raising development land eg for views..truckloads of dirt which they say will settle but is much higher and leads surrounding subdivisions with drainage problems potential for flooding. Unchecked developments.
the australian dream of owning your own home, does not mean high density high rise units. Though i can see why the government wants everyone crammed into them, as it will make their union mates happy to construct them.
Crap boxes. I bought one as a first home buyer and the ceilings are NOT SOUNDPROOF! They crammed an immigrant family of 4 above me in a single bedroom apartment, and you could hear a 4 year old little girl running around for hours a day.
Dog boxes in the sky owned by Union Super as slum landlord and all dwellings are highly defective built by clueless CMFEU bikie thugs designed by woke greeny leftist architects and built with toxic materials made by slaves imported from CCP Communist China
Leith. You are from Melbourne so you would know about the development going on in Clyde, Berwick, Officer, Pakenham etc I do a lot of work out there fixing people's air cons in NEW homes, less than 3-5 years old. Sometimes I'll ask the customers how they feel about their brand new homes and they will tell me about the countless defects they have in their homes + being crammed in to multiplex townhouses . It's a very dystopia reality we are living through at the moment
These are coming from big brand developers like Mirvac, Meriton and Lendlease right? It's funny how they build offices to a better quality than apartments. Living in an apartment has been a nightmare mostly due to sound. My door bases are already beginning to rust and the ceilings are not even level.
I'll say it, a lot (not all) of the re gas work on new systems is a result from cheap (foreign) sparkies fitting air-cons. Most new home owners won't even get a return call when trying to chase up the installer under warranty. Volume builders even request new home owners bank details on the service request form, Eg. Back charging owners for not knowing what trade they need to fix the water leak coming through the ceiling. Even though a maintenance co-ordinator had organised while at the same time not paying the trades for attending! It's a Disgusting, un Australian way of doing business.
You can count on people to vote in their own self interest. So long as more people benifit from high house prices than suffer the government will win. The old generation don't give a rats arse about the new ones.
No. It is not as simple as that. Many older decent people are happy to see lower high prices. Also many young victims stupidly vote for the big perpetrators.

To a point. See, the housing sector and public sector which are unproductive, are sucking every penny out of the private sector which is paying for them. The private sector is already dying, and soon wont be able to support them any more. Then the public sector and the housing sector will collapse allong with the entire economy. It wont be long now, I would say a year or so.

The reason we have such high levels of immigration is to fill up the federal governments’s coffers at the expense of every people. If I remember correctly during the last down turn immigration was contributing to the equivalent of 1.5% of GDP which kept us out of a recession. Declining productivity is also a real issue that needs to be addressed & government overspending needs to be right sized for our sensible growth rate.
Not drinking water kills you. drinking the correct amount helps you thrive. Drinking too much water kills you or you down. Same with immigration. Refusing to acknowledge the downsides of high immigration is nuts
Curious to see a bank statement from the immigrants & who is paying them & how much! Never seen a homeless immigrant considering they come here with no money but have a car,house,food & a constant income!
They tend to live ten times a house often violating tenancy agreements and potentially the law. They then don't spend money on much. They don't churn their earnings into economy much so a negative there alone.
@ and they tend to get free government housing & financial assistance..also money for cars! Again,the only way you’ll know is if you see the bank statements to see how much & who is paying them! Simple.
My dad tells me they have loan sharks that prop up their bank account 50k 100k 200k sitting in there until necessary...also various other lines of credit is available in India and China!

New 3-bed apartments around here start at $4.5m and are only 2/3rds the size of better built ones like ours. I don't care how much property prices rise as eventually some developer will buy out our block for twice its market value and replace it with 8-stories of 60-70sqm shoeboxes.

Hate to break the news to you, but what's happening is what you get by implementing right wing Neo Liberal Economic policy. The last 35 years in the Anglosphere, both sides of Politics embraced and implemented Neo Liberal Economic policy and Globalisation. Why do you think everything was off shored, outsourced and privatised. All utilities were sold off, Unions smashed, cheap 3rd world labour flooded the countries and excessive immigration ensured Real Estate became overpriced. Neo Liberal Economics takes Capitalism to the next level, which means NO middle class. No Politician can undo 35 years of Neo Liberal economics easily. It would take decades, and that's if everyone was in agreement.
Albo just made it much worse by opening up the floodgates of immigration and his government spending like idiots. Let's throw a racially divisive referendum into the mix, costing hundreds of millions down the drain... oh and less building of houses. What a terrible prime minister leading a terrible government.
@@adunbar Agreed. He seems like a buffon. But let's get the facts straight about immigration and housing. It was PM John Howard who doubled immigration over historical norms in 2006. All subsequent Governments (both sides) were happy to leave it at that level ever since. That is why this Real Estate crisis has been brewing for almost 2 decades, and 2006 was the start of the Real Estate bubble that has been allowed to grow for so long. Albo should slash immigration, also Dutton. If they dont the problem wont be fixed.
It's both sides. You are just blind to your left wing heroes. It was Whitlam who signed the Lima Agreement to send all of our Manufacturing overseas to profit his globalist mates. It has been a tag team of destruction from the main 4 parties. However it was Rudd who slashed all records with immigration numbers to insane levels. And now Albo who has well and truly surpassed that on top of opening our country up to be sold off to every Indian with a student VISA.
@@nicolle_2944 Nope, it was Howard in 2006. He doubled immigration over historical norms. All subsequent Governments (both sides) were happy to leave it at that level ever since.

Earth to allysonyoung - no resources and too costly to bring in resources, no manufacturing. As it stands over 50% of our taxation revenue goes to social welfare programs which is not sustainable. We had a lifestyle that was the envy of the world. Melbourne used to be the most liveable city in the world, now hardly gets a mention. This is a direct result of left wing socialist policies.
@alfiewashere.695 That's because decades of government have failed to build infrastructure, dams,roads, power stations and have left it to over seas mining operations
After hearing the callers some Australian's are still very naive people. Key residential areas are expected to rise another 25%. Inflation will get wild.
An existing home appreciating in value without being sold or purchased doesn't contribute to inflation - it is more about how much rents rise, new homes purchased, and utility bills costing more which drives inflation.
Triggered. Scott Morrison should have been in the thumbnail clickbait mate. In the 2019 election against Bill Shorten, when given the choice of changes to negative gearing, capital gains and dividend imputation and Super tax rorts, to help with the problem, the punters chose selfishness and greed. So suffer in your collective jocks you knew better.

But still, ill dig my boots into the ground for this country and everyone in it before they take it from us. Spot on to those two fellas at the end.
I purchased a 1 bed apartment nearly 5 years ago in Melbourne for $400,000. It’s now worth $360,000. Home loan is still the same though. Strata fees are huge and i’ve got embedded power and internet on top of that which costs a fortune and I can’t change it. I didn’t want a shoe box apartment but couldn’t afford anything bigger.
@@williamm1624$5,000 gone up honestly around 20% per year. Sometimes a little more than 20% per year. I want up sell but like I said need to sell at least $40,000 less than I paid but this makes it hard for me a single woman because housing is so expensive here and I will still owe bank from $400,000 not it’s current value and resale price of $360,000.
Oh my god what did you do when interest rates were 0.1% (sub-2% from financiers)? Have you not had the asset performing / not paying any repayments large enough to generate equity / pocketing any extra money that wasn't directly paid in bills? Wow. I don't know how you haven't made any headway on a loan of that size in over 5 years.
@Leithvo one thing I'd suggest you do in these talks is talk about which parties have a plan to fix this. To my knowledge only Sustainable Australia Party have a clear and concise plan to fix this. Their statements are 1. Stop Corruption 2. Stop overdevelopment 3. Stabilise the population. Who doesn't want that?
@@maxd5007 wow. Their 3 step plan sounds like something a new political party in a 3rd world country would table up. Sad that this is the current socio-political state of the country.
Trying to "catch up" with housing while hundreds of thousands of extra home seekers flood into the country makes about as much sense as using a mop under water
Housing crisis is terrible, most young people are unable to purchase a home. But reducing population growth could only create another crisis just as bad, an aging population crisis. As our low birth rate is another major issue this country has. Hence, the most optimal solution is to increase construction. I'd also argue that apartment living has many benefits in terms of access to urbanity and city culture, public transport, commute times. And hence represent higher life quality than detached housing and suburban living. So the solution can not come from sprawl, it has to come from apartment construction. The government should be doing everything possible in terms of assisting the construction industry with approval and red tape reduction, and in assisting the industry with material costs. No industry is static, reduce costs and with high demand the construction industry will be more competitive than other sectors in the economy, and become capable of obtaining the necessary labour and resources from less competitive industries. Public policy should be set around enabling this to happen.
One answer is off grid living and community living which is growing in popularity. Government could step in and boost it dramatically with very little cost. But corporations and red tape types won't profit.
Land developers don't profit from your suggestion as per banks realestate. Corporates have a grip on this country in everything let's list them land banking health food housing energy you name it they are gouging the buggery out of all of us .
Govts will always find a way to tax. During mid 2000's drought people were buying up water tanks and the govt was going to tax these industrious people for rain water.
@djzed767 Governments don't like you living off grid I wish I had done it but I am too old now 70yrs old if you live off grid they can't really control you . Living off grid is the future grow as much of your food as possible solar poly culture chickens as the population becomes unsustainable this will be the future .
As house prices rise the private debt to GDP ratio gets worse and at a certain point it all falls over. NZ is around 90%of GDP and Aus might be over 100%. The debt is growing faster than GDP which in NZ is shrinking and the ability to repay the money is impossible with the maintenance of the debt crushing the economy.
Apartments without car parks?! Such a terrible delcine in quailty of life, compared to a 200sqm town house in bradfield with a 2 hour commute. These "highrise slums" are being developed around Sydney metro stations with 15 minute journey times directly to the cbd and employment centres running at 3 minute frequencies 24/7. I could find the study if asked but around 40% of the cost of a mid size apartment tower is underground parking. Removing this will easily regenerate the economic viability. Oh its so short sighted to build dense housing around worldclass public transport as apposed to endless sprawling estates with 6 lane aterial roads and a 15 cm gap between these wonderful "detached" houses 60-70km from the cbd but hey you can drive 20 minutes through the beautiful new estates to a mega mall with 4 aircraft hanger size box stores and a kfc so its the dream.
VIEWER FEEDBACK,,smart influx of workers residents permits only valid for specific outback regions inland and confidence permanent resident permits &or citizenship Inland construction should be cheaper cost to build due to cost of land being cheap and import temporary construction workers from lower Labour cost countries would make houses or higher density townhouse cheap would support inland industries
You have Campelltown all the way to Penrith many new housing development and new road, freeway, railline and tunnel. It’s Melbourne Labour government had ignore the housing crisis, crime and violence ruin it for Victorian and Chinese Investors had flee to Sydney.
Why is building high quality apartments not an option? It really seems like we can only have detached houses or shoeboxes. I've lived in countries where it's perfectly normal to live in apartments and the apartments are high quality, with balconies, thick walls, and lots of amenities in the local area that make up for the lack of backyard etc.
Wages are too high so it makes construction costs too expensive. Zoning laws are restrictive. Many don't want to work that hard. Customers don't want to pay that much when they don't own the land (strata fees / rates / etc) is all a bit overinflated already.
We can talk whatever, but this is all by design. Wealthy are buying anything they can because money is loosing value by the minute and sooner or later dollar will become worthless, so, owning property will at least keep some real value
What has happened to the younger generation is absolute criminal.

As the word "racist" has been weaponized, into a tool to shout down anyone who doesn't want unlimited immigration.
Unsustainable population growth affects almost every facet of life in Australia. From the environment, housing affordability, health (overwhelmed medical services) road congestion, education (class sizes).
Population growth is almost relevant to any issue and immigration is what is growing the Australian population the most.
What wrong with reducing the country's immigration intake, from record high levels in the hundreds of thousands to the historical immigration average of about 70,000 people per annum?
I get frustrated that the majority of the electorate cannot differentiate the types of new arrival i.e asylum seeker vs economic immigrant. I also get frustrated that most Australian's don't realise that our population growth in Australia is driven mainly by immigration not births.
I am a proud Australian, but I also have great respect and empathy for asylum seekers, fleeing their homeland as it is no longer safe. I even appreciate the reasons why economic immigrants come here, they're just seeking a better life for themselves and their families. The problem is, collectively they are impacting on existing Australians quality of life and that of the Australian environment.
The short sighted government policies of the Liberal, Labor and Greens parties, using kick the can economics that requires a constant stream of new arrivals to make the economy "work" is unbelievable flawed.
Simple, because regular Australians do not want to pay more taxes. So the government imports more tax payers and consumers into the country. 70,000 new tax payers a year is still bad as the government needs its tax coffers to grow faster than the rate of inflation.
@boxman8957 so higher housing costs, road congestion, tolls, longer hospital and doctor wait times, decrease amenities, decrease social cohesion, more crowded class rooms that unsustainable imported population growth brings isn't very "taxing" on each one of us?
Spot on. My only issue is that 'asylum' seekers are not always genuine cases, when they travel past several countries to get to Australia shows that they only have a desire to get to Australia. Everything else you are spot on with. Greens call out for increased immigration but the pressure this puts on resources - land, wood and materials, power, gas and water plus pressure on emergency services such as police, ambulances, drs, hospitals and now housing.
Net zero immigration policy is what's required or zero entry for 2 years minimum.

I'll say it, a lot (not all) of the re gas work on new systems is a result from cheap (foreign) sparkies fitting air-cons. Most new home owners won't even get a return call when trying to chase up the installer under warranty. Volume builders even request new home owners bank details on the service request form, Eg. Back charging owners for not knowing what trade they need to fix the water leak coming through the ceiling. Even though a maintenance co-ordinator had organised while at the same time not paying the trades for attending! It's a Disgusting, un Australian way of doing business.

To a point. See, the housing sector and public sector which are unproductive, are sucking every penny out of the private sector which is paying for them. The private sector is already dying, and soon wont be able to support them any more. Then the public sector and the housing sector will collapse allong with the entire economy. It wont be long now, I would say a year or so.

The reason we have such high levels of immigration is to fill up the federal governments’s coffers at the expense of every people. If I remember correctly during the last down turn immigration was contributing to the equivalent of 1.5% of GDP which kept us out of a recession. Declining productivity is also a real issue that needs to be addressed & government overspending needs to be right sized for our sensible growth rate.

Our block was built and bought last century, a few years before the "private certifier" abomination. 6 x 3/2/2 units, 120-140sqm each. Only 3 floors, including the 6 x underground DLUGs. There are no pools, gyms, elevators etc to maintain. 12 mins to CBD, 5 mins to the beach, 2 mins to the shopping centre and bus. Every unit has a private garden. New 3-bed apartments around here start at $4.5m and are only 2/3rds the size of better built ones like ours. I don't care how much property prices rise as eventually some developer will buy out our block for twice its market value and replace it with 8-stories of 60-70sqm shoeboxes.

Hate to break the news to you, but what's happening is what you get by implementing right wing Neo Liberal Economic policy. The last 35 years in the Anglosphere, both sides of Politics embraced and implemented Neo Liberal Economic policy and Globalisation. Why do you think everything was off shored, outsourced and privatised. All utilities were sold off, Unions smashed, cheap 3rd world labour flooded the countries and excessive immigration ensured Real Estate became overpriced. Neo Liberal Economics takes Capitalism to the next level, which means NO middle class. No Politician can undo 35 years of Neo Liberal economics easily. It would take decades, and that's if everyone was in agreement.

@@adunbar Agreed. He seems like a buffon. But let's get the facts straight about immigration and housing. It was PM John Howard who doubled immigration over historical norms in 2006. All subsequent Governments (both sides) were happy to leave it at that level ever since. That is why this Real Estate crisis has been brewing for almost 2 decades, and 2006 was the start of the Real Estate bubble that has been allowed to grow for so long.

After hearing the callers some Australian's are still very naive people. Key residential areas are expected to rise another 25%. Inflation will get wild.

Oh my god what did you do when interest rates were 0.1% (sub-2% from financiers)?

Housing crisis is terrible, most young people are unable to purchase a home. But reducing population growth could only create another crisis just as bad, an aging population crisis. As our low birth rate is another major issue this country has.
Hence, the most optimal solution is to increase construction. I'd also argue that apartment living has many benefits in terms of access to urbanity and city culture, public transport, commute times. And hence represent higher life quality than detached housing and suburban living. So the solution can not come from sprawl, it has to come from apartment construction. The government should be doing everything possible in terms of assisting the construction industry with approval and red tape reduction, and in assisting the industry with material costs.
No industry is static, reduce costs and with high demand the construction industry will be more competitive than other sectors in the economy, and become capable of obtaining the necessary labour and resources from less competitive industries. Public policy should be set around enabling this to happen.

As house prices rise the private debt to GDP ratio gets worse and at a certain point it all falls over. NZ is around 90%of GDP and Aus might be over 100%.
The debt is growing faster than GDP which in NZ is shrinking and the ability to repay the money is impossible with the maintenance of the debt crushing the economy.

Apartments without car parks?! Such a terrible delcine in quailty of life, compared to a 200sqm town house in bradfield with a 2 hour commute. These "highrise slums" are being developed around Sydney metro stations with 15 minute journey times directly to the cbd and employment centres running at 3 minute frequencies 24/7. I could find the study if asked but around 40% of the cost of a mid size apartment tower is underground parking. Removing this will easily regenerate the economic viability. Oh its so short sighted to build dense housing around worldclass public transport as apposed to endless sprawling estates with 6 lane aterial roads and a 15 cm gap between these wonderful "detached" houses 60-70km from the cbd but hey you can drive 20 minutes through the beautiful new estates to a mega mall with 4 aircraft hanger size box stores and a kfc so its the dream.
these housing plans are all WEF dictated.
Totally unaffordable housing for fist home buyers, only benefitting investment buyers taking advantage of the negative gearing.
VIEWER FEEDBACK,,smart influx of workers residents permits only valid for specific outback regions inland and confidence permanent resident permits &or citizenship
Inland construction should be cheaper cost to build due to cost of land being cheap and import temporary construction workers from lower Labour cost countries would make houses or higher density townhouse cheap would support inland industries
Bring in 250 000 workers to build the houses we need. Where do we house the 250 000 workers?

You have Campelltown all the way to Penrith many new housing development and new road, freeway, railline and tunnel. It’s Melbourne Labour government had ignore the housing crisis, crime and violence ruin it for Victorian and Chinese Investors had flee to Sydney.
Why is building high quality apartments not an option?
It really seems like we can only have detached houses or shoeboxes. I've lived in countries where it's perfectly normal to live in apartments and the apartments are high quality, with balconies, thick walls, and lots of amenities in the local area that make up for the lack of backyard etc.
Wages are too high so it makes construction costs too expensive.
Zoning laws are restrictive.
Many don't want to work that hard.
Customers don't want to pay that much when they don't own the land (strata fees / rates / etc) is all a bit overinflated already.
Maybe only allow 1 investment property. So many common sense fix’s. As long as people can make huge money speculating on housing there is no fix
We can talk whatever, but this is all by design.
Wealthy are buying anything they can because money is loosing value by the minute and sooner or later dollar will become worthless, so, owning property will at least keep some real value
