    I'm an Aussie who got moved to Singapore by my multinational employer. They did this coz it would be cheaper to pay me IN SINGAPORE than in Australia -- that's how unaffordable the labour market in Australia is, because of the cost of living, because of the inflated property market. That Lee Kwan Yew quote and comparison with Singapore is completely on point. Singapore's population density is astronomical: nearly 8000 people per square km versus Australia's 2 people per square km. HOW is it more affordable for me to live here in Singapore than in Australia? It really just comes down to the Singapore's government's prioritising housing for all people rather than profits for the already-rich.

    As someone who grew up and lived in Germany until recently, the hardest culture shock for me was the attitude towards houses and "homes". I'm used to the mentality of " you buy a house in your 30-40s to live in for the rest of your life and hopefully one of your kids will own it afterwards." Homes are built to last 150years+ with the proper care, thanks to rigorous standards, but they also come at a price. At least 10x as much as a normal australian house and the property itself is only worth a fraction of the house, which is really the main selling point, a sturdy home that protects you from wind and weather and lasts decades. You don't necessarily expect the value to go up, in fact with the upkeep costs and taxes it will probably loose money over time, but that is the general idea everyone has in their minds when buying a home. You invest money into a home to offer your family shelter and protection, privacy and so much more, which of course isn't free anywhere in the world, so there is a cost attached to it. Whereas in Australia I feel like the general sentiment is that buying a property or a house is an investment that will definitely make returns over time, because someone is going to buy it for a higher price in the future. Everybody knows that especially with the current problems and china as a warning, numbers can't go up forever but people still don't want to miss out on this arbitrary profit that basically only exists because the the money has been inflated that much. It seems like the value always goes up, but if the costs of living and co. go up in tandem, then your basically at the same net zero, just with higher numbers.

    The exacerbating factor is that new homes that are mass built in Australia are built like absolute trash as well. Nothing is built to specification, inspectors don't do their job or are paid off at every stage of construction and all environmental considerations are basically ignored since the sub-sub-sub-contractors can't read English.

Builders are getting the cheapest materials and quality control might as well be non-existent. Then so many builders go under and families are left out of pocket.

The actual construction (while probably not a tenth of Germany) isn't the largest factor in property prices in Australia. We're also notorious for building absolute garbage that will *barely* scrape through the warranty period. As an example, over the last 15 years, the land value of my house in the inner west of Sydney has quadrupled. The actual cost of building a house has probably not quite doubled.

    That line about empty buildings at night hits so hard. I live in Box Hill, and there's several apartment buildings completely dark at night save for a few windows - I mistakenly thought they were still under construction for awhile. My friend was looking to buy one, but he found them to be overpriced and poorly maintained (even though they're new) - and the units being sold by developers were 100K more than those being sold by owner occupiers in the same building. The realtors are thirsty as hell, but even with the lack of demand, the price isn't moving (a brand new 2BR apartment is around 650K). On top of that, there are hardly any apartments to rent in the area as well.

    Congratulations Jordan for being open on the impact of population growth when so many public figures have been too timid. Respec! A couple of fun facts: In the 2022/2023 financial year, Australia's population, under the Labor Albanese government, increased by 518 000, the largest year increase that Australia has ever seen. When Labor says that are 'halving' migration, this is half of the last financial year, which at 250 000 is pretty much the same as the migration intake of the disastrous pre Covid decade under the coalition. Labor have a loooong way to go. Speaking of the coalition! Howard basically admittedly on live radio, back around 2014 that the government was 'tough on refugees' to drive a political wedge in Australian society so people would debate endlessly over refugee migration, which was a distraction from him boosting economic migration sky high. Like many of Howard's legacies, this is another that still persists, inhibiting a mature debate on population policy.

    Immigration under Howard was the same numbers as Keating, but under Howard the composition changed, towards skilled migrants and away from temporary protection visas and family reunification visa's. "Family reunification" was being badly rorted as it allowed those brought into Australia on family reunification grounds to then allow those people to also bring in others on family reunification grounds.

    There will always be 100000 or so immigration from marriage and partner visas, which is fine. There is a few hundred thousand from skilled migration. No reason to turn away doctors etc when getting an ENT specialist appointment took 4 months. Then there are student visas. This is the easy one to change, however students don't put pressure on the housing market. They stay in empty bedrooms and bring in a fortune. Of course the government took an axe to this industry and have destroyed all the language schools and RTOs. They could focus on cutting family visas and making it harder for students to get PR, but they decided to just destroy an industry so they have a talking point to say they are doing something.

    Same with people from Sydney and QLD. I'm from a locality of 300 people. 3 hours north of Brisbane. 3 properties sold sight unseen in 2021. This drove my parents property from a 2019 valuation in the 400k up to $1.6 million. 2 of those properties sold again within months for slightly less than they were bought for, then 1 of those properties was sold AGAIN this year after another sight unseen buying city Muppet from Sydney moved up and realised we hate people from Sydney and they weren't welcome in our region. But the damage was done and the entire market was fucked up. Many born and bred Queenslanders left homeless from Southerners who, in my few conversations with them asking why they moved to our town, all said were fleeing mass migration or COVID. You'd be hard pressed finding a true blue born and bred QLDer that doesn't detest southerners now because of this bullshit. It wasn't this bad before COVID. For me personally I didn't care before COVID about interstate migration or overseas immigration. But I do care now I see so many people homeless... the most I've ever seen in my life. Then moving to Sydney in the last year has been eye opening, solidly the least Australian part of Australia and mass migration has completely fucked assimilation and people learning Australian etiquette (walk on the left, always give personal space, do not push in when there's a queue etc etc nearly ALWAYS not observed by South Asians).

    Honestly impressed that Jordan is able to be a little critical of Labor in this video. They have been abysmal thus far. Nowhere near as bad as the Liberals, but my god are they just tinkering around the edges. None of their changes named in this video will go far enough to stem the flow let alone fix the root cause of the respective issue. All symbolic rhetoric designed to appease their voters’ anger whilst not rocking the boat too hard for their corporate donor class. And I get it, that’s the game of politics right? Knowing when to strike and when to pretend you’re doing something. But it’s been 2 years already. Labor is at some real risk now of losing the un-losable election… to Lord Voldemort! I’m sorry Jordan but Labor HAS been responsible for driving inflation. Not holding multinational energy cartels accountable for misquoting their supply, not reserving enough for domestic use, and locking in decade-long contracts that we can’t wriggle out of - is unacceptable. These energy subsidies are minuscule, plus no burden on the institutions who sent our prices through the roof… just taken straight from the public purse. Then their solution to this rental/housing crisis is straight up shameful. Removing negative gearing and capital gains concessions will be wayyy more effective than the HAFF. Sure we can praise the HAFF in 50 years when it’s fit for purpose, but Australians need help now. Labor’s reluctance to work together with any minor parties or independents is immature but also out-of-touch, because more Australians voted for them than the big 2. Lastly immigration. Jordan paints this picture very well. Copying Canada (property market also) will not end well. To keep GDP figures artificially elevated (we are in a per-capita recession) at the expense of the majority is ludicrous. February’s intake numbers just set another record. So believe the data more than what they’re saying they will do. Both major parties will continue down the same road of inflating the currency, inflating the population, and inflating debt while at the same time not investing enough in business, infrastructure, services, anything! I know this will sound radical and ridiculous but… Until this property bubble is burst and we go through a Great Depression, the economy and/or living conditions will not get better in Australia. And I struggle to find any politician fearless enough and selfless enough to undertake this quest for the future prosperity of their nation.

This was recommended by various international organisations. Chris Bowen in 2012 created the ‘Significant Investor System’ or “Golden Ticket visa” whereby applicants could fast track Visas onto Australia with $5 million dollars of investment, which unfortunately includes residential property. Alan Kohler has also pointed out lack of infrastructure, such as fast trains to affordable areas.

    2006 scheme for up to $1 million tax-free and was only available to those over 60 and who were retiring or retired. The scheme was designed to enable retirees to sell their home, add the money to their super and be financially self sufficient, instead of taking advantage of the place of residence exemption and collecting the aged-pension. This issue at the time was that retirees were living in their biggest asset and their children's eventual inheritance (the house) was effectively being subsidised by the taxpayer (who were maintaining their parents through the aged-pension). This is why the Howard Government wanted pensioners to liquify their asset, and add the money to the super. Treasury modelling showed this was cheaper for the taxpayer in the long run than paying 15-20 years of the aged pension. This policy increased voluntary contributions by 142% in the final months of 2006/2007. Keep in mind, in 2006 mandatory super had only been operating for 14 years, those of an advanced aged (60yrs +) were at a disadvantage due to their lack of time to accurate contributions to their retirement account. Rudd-Gillard-Rudd kept the policy going, it was eventually wound back by Morrison at the treasurer under PM Turnbull. As an accompanying equity measure the Howard Government introduced a dollar-for-dollar Superannuation co-contribution scheme, hoping to increase voluntary super contributions for anyone earning less than $57,000 per annum. They eventually increased this to $1.50 for every $1 contributed. The result was a marginal 3.5% of low income Australians began making voluntary contributions. In 2012/2013 Gillard Government cut it to 50cents. The Howard Government also banned executives from rolling over their payouts into superannuation, capped pre-tax contributions at $50,000 per annum and slashed the superannuation % of federal MP's back to the standard rate.

    @@clarissatyler3947 this asset testing of the pension unfairly effected working class people who went without luxuries to save for a holiday home. This was called an asset by Howard so then they were forced to sell it or lose the pension. Meanwhile people who wasted their savings on drugs or gambling had their pension left in tact. How many could afford a million in contribution? By definition this was a one off get the rich even richer on the public purse. Was the timing in the same year as Howard's retirement a factor? Middle to lower class people had no disposable assets or cash. Only people like John Howard had a spare million to quickly double up. Many hard working people lost their retirement holiday home.

Why UP TO a million? because it was meant to be high enough threshold to hold the proceeds from the sale of a family home (likely paid off) and whatever had been accrued in the account during the 12 years of their working life they had after super contributions were legislated) That portfolio amount could be anything from $1.00-$1million. 3. Under Howard the taper rate on assets was made more generous for those on the aged pension , this was also owned at having retirees sell the family home. 4. The pension income test withdrawn rate was also made more generous under Howard, when it reduced from 50% to 40%. 5. To keep people in work the Howard government also implemented the "deferred pension bonus plan" 6. Your parents should have been putting money into a retirement account, not a holiday home - as you say, they were working/middle class.A holiday home is a luxury. it’s not up to the taxpayer to subsidise your parents with a pension when they can sell a non-primary residence and support themselves. It’s not up the taxpayer to subside your inheritance of a primary home AND a holiday home. My parents are also working class and made this mistake of funding a modest holiday home instead of adequate savings. 7. The maximum asset test used in the Centerlink Age Pension assessment is $451,500.00 in assets (not including the primary place of residence). By global standards, this is generous. The aged care pension is projected to cost 72 BILLION next year. The total cost for the Australian Defence Force is only 52BILLION. 8. The highest expense within welfare expenditure is the aged pension. The economic modelling from Treasury showed it was cheaper for the taxpayer to reduce tax on the super accounts of these 60-65yr old’s than fund 15-20yrs of the aged pension. 9. The Howard Government had other schemes to encourage people to be self funded retirees, such as the “Aged Persons Saving Bonus". Another scheme which was an untaxed and upfront lump sum was called the “Self Funded Retirees Supplementary Bonus”

    This is overwhelmingly inspiring, I especially love the comment about the willingness to fight for a country that no one feels to be a part of, & the proposed solution is brilliant, people need to have something to work towards, & a house to call your own is a good start, there must be a balance where immigration is not affecting the living conditions or the existing culture in a negative way, & existing housing should never have bean exposed to foreign/ international markets, the only way to fix this is to introduce a vacancy tax to ensure that house are being occupied. one last thing you missed in this fantastic summery of the stat of thing, green addenda needs to be reviewed & compared to international participation, as Australia only represents less then 2% global emissions/ pollution, & as the mass exporter of consumables used for energy EG Gas & coal, we need to be protected from international markets, we should only ever be selling excess energy not competing for it, smart decision making we return us to the cheapest energy costs & possibly resulting in a return to industry resulting in a sloid economy / national identity where we are both respected & considered relevant by the greater international community not disregarded as a back water ses pool fit for nothing more then a dumping ground for the undesirables

    I honestly think the auto industry would have collapsed or become privatised if it stayed in Australia. You're probably thinking of all those workers who lost jobs but honestly, modern technologies and automation would have slowly replaced most of them anyway. You cannot compete against developing countries when it comes to manufacturing vehicles. They win in terms of cost because labour costs are low and thus margins can be higher. That's literally it. Auto manufacturers are in one of the most cut throat industries out there and margins are razor thin. Every single one in the West relies on robotics with minimal staff simply to bring down costs and be more efficient. The few developed countries that are able to make a profit are hyper-obsessed with the numbers.

    Every time you hear 'inflation', replace that with 'record profits'. Every time you hear 'housing crisis', replace that with 'record profits'. More capitalism might not be the answer Jordan. Yes unions are great. If the government really cared for the people they represent, the real estate market wouldn't be what it is today. To consume the debt (and subsequent regulations) for the housing market deflation, corporations and hedge funds would be prohibitively taxed. And the government would eat the deficit instead of the currency (which would actually improve by virtue of such an act). But who owns who? At the end of the day, until we become serious about taking money out of politics, we can't even really discuss the root problem(s). I don't care what anyone says, migration is a good thing.

    I would be more inclined to say migration affecting the cost of housing has more to do with the ludicrous idea that anyone can just come into the country and totally outbid and strong arm any local person treying to enter the housing market. Then renting the house back to locals trying to afford the same house, and having all the money either used as a tax write off or syphoned out the country into local banks. Migrants simply exsisting isnt totally driving cost by suply and demand. especially not considering the astronomical cost of education. I would also say there isnt many jobs being taken from under the nose of austrailans. as someone whos worked on many farm, backpackers become unbelievebly cheap laber. dare i say slave labour to the 88 days. "if you dont want to work for $5 per hour, someone more desperate will. this was solved through covid by there being a sudden lack of migratory seasonal worker, so the goverment had to come in and fix the piece rate wages on farms and stop people getting a quater of the minimum wage. this only made the farmers cry further as they then suddely couldnt afford to pay people to work on the farms for a fair wage. if supermarkets pay more, instead of just charging more for seconds then eveyone wins. For the sake of the argument im not against the 88 days thing, just not getting shafted by farmers and thretened at gun point to leave and not tell the council about 28 people being forced to live in a 3 bedroom house

    The tax analysis is devoid of context and the origins of CGT. CGT was introduced in 1985 and given the inflation of the era, allowed people to index (aka increase) the cost base of assets. This was stopped in 99 -00 when the CGT discount was introduced - which reduces the administrative burden but bifurcates taxpayers between PAYG workers and asset holders. That said the PPOR exemption (0% tax on gains) is way crazier. The 0% tax on income in super during pension phase is again crazier. Thats right were talking ZERO PERCENT and ZERO media attention. The highest tax rate at 47% is halved to 23.5% for CGT assets but still higher than 15% flat tax paid on distribution paid to foreign investors. There are arguments for and against all of the above but the public sphere devoid if nuance and tax is always in the "too hard" basket unless its about taxing someone else. Everyone pits the working class vs the high income (and high tax paying) working class or people "negative gearing" (without understanding what "gearing" even means). I just saw a billboard - paid for by taxpayers dollars advocating how the government gave everyone a taxcut without mentioning that its to mostly address bracket creep and hardly a "cut" in real terms. If you actually understand the tax legislation, you'll quickly realise that no political party cares or understands tax in Australia - nor are they interested in true reform. At the end of the day its all political at our detriment.

    Also worth calling out that CGT can be deferred substantially by simply not selling the asset for an extended period of time. Buying a property today and selling it 20 years from now works out to be an annual tax rate of only 1.33%.

    Where do you go to learn about this? How much of what is learned is acquiring terms that originated to obscure simpler concepts? Although things might lack nuance, why should so much understanding be necessary to get through the point that really comes from people's hearts - the desire for a home to raise a family in, in a country that's stable and at peace. You shouldn't have to learn about PPOR and the history of Australian GCT to have that

    This video is 90% on point. The other 10% is that the difference between Labor and Liberal is superficial. It’s always all talk and rarely if ever materialises. This used to be a country I’d fight for. This used to be a country. Now it’s an economic zone. You say we don’t have a National identity, maybe so, but we used to when Australia was more homogeneous.

    The CFMEU support more immigration while protecting the construction industry from migrant workers. This is exactly how you make things MORE expensive for australians - demand for housing is higher but supply, through the number of construction workers, is constrained.

    💯 this. Skilled and qualified tradies from overseas are conveniently not being prioritised to come to Australia. There are plenty of great tradies from the US, UK, Europe, Korea and Japan. Why during a housing supply shortage and where many builders are going under, wouldn't you want to bring in specialised people??? Corruption that's why.

    What you say is true. However the most important thing that is constrained is zoning. Govt does not zone enough residential dwellings. Constructions costs are a red-herring.
