Policy is everything
Housing prices have soared 59% since COVID. Mortgage repayments now take up 45% of household income. Labor’s answer? Boost demand with 5% deposit schemes and equity buy-ins while supply remains broken #auspol

Population growth just surged past 451,000 in a year almost back to 2008’s historic high. Meanwhile, vacancy rates hit a record low of 1.5%. The rental crisis isn’t organic. It’s manufactured by state-sanctioned overcrowding #auspol

Real non-mining business investment is 25% below 2012 levels, even as migration soars. They don’t invest in skills. They import desperation. They don’t lift productivity. They inflate GDP with cheap labour. It’s theft legalised #auspol

In the last year alone, 500,000+ migrants entered the country most into low-wage, insecure jobs. That’s not multiculturalism. That’s a wage suppression tool for the rentier class. You’re not being replaced. You’re being undercut #auspol

One CEO outright said it: they want mass migration to “ease wage pressures.” That’s not coded. That’s open class war. More migrants = lower pay = bigger margins

Productivity’s collapsing, real wages are stagnant, and still business elites whine that “labour is too scarce and expensive.” Their solution? Not investment. Not training. Just flooding the country with hundreds of thousands of migrants. Exploitation as policy. #auspol

Labor says “build more homes.” Who’s going to build them? When businesses refuse to train workers, and migration floods demand, not supply. This isn’t accidental. It’s a corporate model of wage theft and permanent crisis #auspol

Migration doesn’t fill gaps it creates them. For every 100 migrants, less than 10 are in construction, but all 100 need housing. Albanese’s policies aren’t nation-building. They’re GDP-chasing Ponzi schemes for headline growth and donor profits #auspol

Colby thinks we owe America unconditional obedience after sending them $368b for AUKUS, embedding Pine Gap into US targeting systems, and committing troops to every US war since Korea. Still not loyal enough? #auspol

The US says it’ll only defend allies who “take more responsibility.” Labor is dumping $300B into subs built in America, for a war we won’t control, in a region they think we’ll sit out. Meanwhile renters starve. This is bipartisan derangement #auspol

Trump’s strategy calls Australia out by name for not spending enough on defenceafter we already pledged 2.3% of GDP and locked in record weapons spending. What else do they want? Schools gutted? Hospitals shuttered? #auspol
December 7, 2025 at 6:16 AM
Labor bankrolled $300 billion in subs for America and Trump’s admin just erased the word “AUKUS” from its defence doctrine. The reward for Albanese’s loyalty? Open contempt from US officials and a request for $40B more. That’s not alliance it’s tribute #auspol

Labor let youth unemployment + underemployment hit 22.9% double the national rate. Real wages are down. Burnout is up. 85% of young Aussies face financial hardship. This isn’t reform. It’s neglect #auspol
December 7, 2025 at 5:32 AM
Labor’s migration program is bigger, worse, and more chaotic than ever and renters are bleeding for it. High demand, fake supply, low vacancy. That’s not policy. That’s betrayal

Labor was warned: faster population growth = 200,000 extra homes needed. They ignored it. They’ve doubled the housing shortage to 400,000 while pretending it’s a supply chain issue
#auspol

Since Labor launched the Housing Accord, we’ve approved 67,000 fewer homes than needed. And even then, 5% of approvals never get built. Albanese is legislating supply shortfalls by design
#auspol
December 7, 2025 at 5:12 AM
Labor’s “housing policy” is a statistical magic trick: promise 240k homes a year, then approve just 192k. And that’s approvals, not completions. The real gap is even worse

Farmland values up 256% over 20 years. Housing: 154%. So these “hard‑working farmers” aren’t starving for cash they’re sitting on an agrarian land‑bank goldmine. Spare me the crying about green laws when you treat farmland like Bitcoin with sheep attached #auspol

Their shirts are oil. Their politics are fumes. And their solution to rising food prices is to cook the planet faster. These blokes don’t care about costs they just want a scapegoat to jack up prices while hiding behind Coles and Woolies #auspol

The Islamic coup fantasy requires 3% of the population to form a religious super-party, override the Constitution, win a double majority referendum, and conquer Parliament. Or hear me out Malcolm Roberts is just scared of Muslims voting #auspol

Imagine being from the meth coast of Queensland, led by a cartoon fascist in a fast food tie, and calling Victoria the problem #auspol

Home prices are up forty seven percent since 2020. That is a two hundred and eighty thousand dollar jump on the median dwelling with no comparable rise in income. That is the definition of a systemic affordability failure #auspol

CoreLogic and SQM data converge on the same point. New leases are surging in price even as older leases mask the crisis. Stability is a lagging illusion created by tenants who have not yet churned #auspol

National listings are at historic lows while population growth remains near record highs. That combination mathematically guarantees further rent pressure no matter what the headlines claim #auspol
December 1, 2025 at 8:22 AM
The tightest rental conditions in decades mean tenants are now spending around one third of their income on rent. That is the median. Not the extreme #auspol
