They could build affordable housing, but it's impossible to build affordable housing without hurting the economy. Developers, investors, and home buyers spend billions on those expensive houses. So if the price of those expensive houses were to fall due to an increase in affordable houses, they would not be able to pay back the billions in loans borrowed to build/buy those houses.

Immigration laws are being rapidly changed to limit the number of people who can settle in Australia. The ‘golden visa’ system allowed any wealthy migrant to essentially buy their way in to the country, and these people often paid cash for homes, building massive property portfolios which they write off on tax if they own a business. It’s completely ruined Melbourne and Sydney and has jeopardised their unique character and displaced local people. There are loads of dodgy real estate agents helping to inflate prices for their commission fees. It’s a mess and we need to kick out these dodgy operators asap.

Australian here. He is generally right about most things. He only quickly mentioned tax concessions as an issue but that and government policy in general is the big reason. The way tax works here for property makes it a huge way to make money. Then combine a dodgy banking system and you end up with a few people owning most of the properties. And if your a rich foreigner, if you buy over 2 million worth of property they will give you a passport. Then you have government policy and incentives that give people money for deposits. This seems like it helps but all it does is make property prices go up. When they had the covid lockdowns, they also stopped homes being built. So basically about 200,000 homes weren't built over those 2 or 3 years. Then they opened the borders back up and prices went through the roof. Finally, our housing minister for the government has 11 investment properties. Obvious conflict of interest as there's no way she will every do anything to bring prices down.

I'm a single Australian who wouldn't mind owning my own one bedroom apartment. There are plenty of these available too, the problem is they are bought exclusively by property investors who can rent them at exorbitant rates and if it remains unoccupied then they can write the loss off on tax and actually make more money.

There are so many more who’ve had to resort to housing their families in tents and many more living out of their cars. Lots of people paying most of their income just to keep their rental. Australia likes to make out that we take care of each other but the truth is that it ignores its most vulnerable and makes getting assistance very difficult and is looked down on by others.

One aspect of this program that he singles out is with international students: who are classified as temporary migrants - the great majority of whom are hoping to utilise their time here to gain permanent residency.

Alas, the 1.1 million international students currently in Australia are the key factor with why availability of properties to rent, and why it is that rents are exorbitant. Therefore, because these interlopers need places to live in must culminate with placing extreme pressure on the availability of properties to rent: and this is so in all of the capital cities. This irrefutably means that, collectively, because they are vying for abodes to live in equates to them being responsible with why Australians are paying excessive rents. To demonstrate just how much Australia has OVERDOSED on international students is to point out that, the US, with a population 13 times that of Australia, has just (sic) 1.4 million international students in its dominion, in comparison to its 1.1 million. This means that for the US to have a ‘comparable’ number of internationals students to that of Australia would require it to have at least 13 million. Aside from these interlopers dispossessing Australians from having abodes to live in and, indeed, why rents are between 20-25 more than what they should be, another dire consequence of MASSIVELY OVERDOSING on ISs prevails with them being between 65 percent to 48 percent of 11 of the top 14 universities in Australia.

Aside from these interlopers dispossessing Australians from having abodes to live in and, indeed, why rents are between 20-25 more than what they should be, another dire consequence of MASSIVELY OVERDOSING on ISs prevails with them being between 65 percent to 48 percent of 11 of the top 14 universities in Australia. But, of the 1.1 million in Australia, less than 200,000 undertake courses that can be construed as being worthwhile: such as medicine, engineering, architecture and IT. Amongst the remaining 900,000 is taken up with studying business and accountancy (400,000). Also, there are also in excess of 150,000 people in Australia on a student visa enrolled in vocational education and training courses: these courses include mundane spheres such as cooking, and hospitality. As for the rest, there are well over 100,000 foreigners - significantly from the PRC - studying English. And there are also at least 60,000 people in the country enrolled in primary and secondary levels of study. Clearly, the treacherous cohort of politicians - who are acting at the DEDICATED behest of educational institutions, big business concerns, and property developers - are fully prepared to sell their own people out: in order to propel economic growth. Unfortunately, what these low-life cretins don’t care one iota about is the horrible sociological cataclysm that will come to pass in 10-15 years when these re-colonists with no allegiance to Australia will subjugate the host country and people.

Well, as a immigrant myself I think I can safely say that entire economy depending on immigration is not really a health thing to do, and will eventually be the ultimate downfall to a nation even if it might look like it’s working rn.

To make matters worse in Sydney, Some people have resorted to buying a mobile home/rv or caravan, to get out of the housing crisis. But there's a law preventing anyone from "freecamping." Unless you have a paid site, or find a freecamp site ( which isnt easy, they are usually located quite far from any town or city) it is illegal to park and stay in your van overnight. If caught, you will be asked to move and could or will be prosecuted.

One of the main problems are developers. They are allowed to do as they please and they hold land and stall releases for years to push up price of land which cuts availability. On average you are looking at around $400,000 for a 400sqm block in any outer suburb of Brisbane, which is cheaper than other major cities. And now that Melbourne and Sydney is so expensive everyone is selling up and moving to Brisbane because they can buy cheaper here and still have money left over from their sale. This allows them to offer more for homes/property’s in Brisbane region so it prices locals out of the market and pushes up prices.

Now the Australian government wants to ban caravans on private property in the middle of a housing crisis. Nice....

The bit about immigration is wrong. Australia is importing anyone with a pulse to prop the housing market up. Due to inflation internationally, the RBA has had to raise aggressively into one of the highest private debt to GDP/ housing bubbles in the world. To avoid a crash, they've pushed immigration well beyond historical records (I think 2 to 3x). This has pushed rent through the roof which compensates investors. This has also saved the housing market and prices from collapsing so far. The thing about having such high debt levels is that everyone is tapped out. They can't borrow more.. so having migrants come in and borrow also helps keep the debt bubble afloat. In terms of skilled migrants, that's BS. Young Australian's in low income jobs are actually pushed out of work, as it's cheaper for businesses to hire migrants due to government incentives. This happens a lot in Aged Care, for example. It keeps wages low too.. So younger generations are not only priced out of housing, but their savings are being destroyed by rent and inflation and their wages are continuing to be suppressed. This creates a massive gap between boomers and Millennials/genZ, where younger people absolutely resent older generations for basically being born at the right time to be able to sit on houses as they appreciate massively in value due to gov juicing, all at the expense of future generations which is now. As young people can't afford housing, they're choosing not to have families, get married etc. This housing Ponzi has destroyed Australian culture and as a young person, I frankly can't wait for the whole market to collapse in flames and bring the whole countries economy down with it

Would you recommend a short? If so, on what specifically? I'd be laughing to the bank to cash in on this

One of our biggest problems here in Australia is that in the 90's, the liberal party decided to "boost the housing industry" by lowering the capital gains tax by half and this lead to many people that had properties to borrow against to buy up more homes and turn them into "investments" aka rentals and because they could use the negative gearing tax offset if the rent wasn't covering the mortgage, rates and bills , it just made it easier for wealthy people to end up with a "healthy portfolio" while being slum lords. The other issues we have with not being able to build new homes is that most cities (Like Adelaide) have had vacant land and lots of it but the government doesn't release it for development until it's desperately needed. This from of land scarcity is what drives up land prices as "Adelaide cannot expand as there is beach and hills" which was a lie as new suburbs are slowly being released over time but the number of houses are low. Another problem is urban infill where in most cases an old trust home or whole suburb of government trust homes get replaced with newer homes that are on a smaller lot of land, ie, two 350m2 lots where a 700m2 was but this has caused many issues from effectively doubling the number of households, one issue is that the utilities can't handle the extra loads but nor can the roads take the traffic and with most of these smaller land lots having larger houses on them it becomes a case of on street parking for most (also that we are way too car centric) so all the curbsides are cluttered with parked cars. Lastly we don't have enough builders and trades people to quickly build new homes as most old brickies and chipies have now been long retired and while many young people did seek and do apprenticeships, there isn't many companies to work for as many of them went bust during covid and the companies that have survived are barely surviving due to material costs doubling in the past 5 years. Long story short, in 2002 houses in ADL were only between $140k to $250k in inner city suburbs, Unley had places going for $450 ~ $600k (rich suburb). 20 years later and those prices have more than tripled with most inner city homes fetching $800k+

Great video -- and so glad the rest of the world is noticing... bring out more such videos on your channel. For context, I’m a South African Australian American - South African + Aussie dual citizen, US PR/GC holder - of Indian origin i.e., I am an Overseas Indian Citizen (OCI) - I lived most of my life in Australia before permanently moving to the US. My wife is an Indian citizen, an Australian PR and a US PR/GC holder who lived most of her life in the income tax-free UAE. I think you should hear this from an Aussie who has seen at least some of the world - the ‘awesome’ life in Australia that many talk about is mostly an illusion. 65% of Aussies have their wealth tied up in their third rate houses and 95% of Aussies are in massive private debt - be it credit card bills, home loans, personal loans or illiquid investments. Free medical care in Australia is a myth with most people not understanding what Medicare covers and what it doesn’t. Freedom is a rare thing in Australia with the Australian Government playing dumb when Muslims took over the Sydney Opera House last December, or when Khalistani terrorists violently assaulted Aussies of Indian origin. Pakistani and Lebanese rape squads have been prevalent in Australia for decades now. State Premiers and ministers are constantly in the news for corruption and nothing is ever done. Politicians even use the police to target their enemies. Australian police in all states are heavily corrupt and next to useless in general. The cost of living and housing affordability in Australia is another horror story - for instance, I was making over Au$200,000/yr and my wife was making around Au$100,000/yr in regional NSW - we couldn’t see how we would buy a house and bring up our children in Australia. The woke agenda of the US is a problem in Australia and the UK as well - but in typical Aussie stubbornness, no Aussie will talk about it or even admit it is an issue. As another example, a good mate of mine who is a born and bred Aussie coaches senior executives + is a best selling author and his wife is a corporate coach who is also a bestselling author. Together their income is over Au$250,000-300,000/yr and yet they moved out of Sydney because it was too costly - now living in Brisbane he still borrows his mother’s 20 year old Honda Civic to take his baby girl out because it is unaffordable for him to have his own car while saving up for a family home. Crime and substance abuse are a problem - ask anyone from Richmond, a suburb of Melbourne where you’ll see junkies passed out with needles sticking out of their arms. There are entire no-go zones in Sydney and Melbourne that no Aussie would talk about lest the world find out how imperfect Oz actually is… Australia is an economic basket case where foreign students or foreigners working on H1B visas in the US rush into because they get security in the form of PRs quicker (3-5years) than they would in the USA (20+ years). The US still is a first class economy with top notch schooling for those who are PRs (GC holders) or citizens. Lots of potential PRs and existing skilled migrants are now leaving Oz, NZ and Canada. The opportunities in the US are way higher than in most other countries - I am aware first hand about the opportunities in Australia, Singapore, HK, the UK and NZ as well because I received offers from all those countries and interviewed for some roles as well. If someone is a Canadian or Australian citizen, then working remotely from a small city in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia or Nepal is much more lucrative with a _low opportunity cost_ of leaving Canada or Australia: that person’s Canadian or Aussie passport is worth more than the quality of life in both those countries - ditto for NZ as well. Not so with the US, despite all its other faults - the opportunity cost of leaving - for PRs and citizens anyway - is _much_ higher. Also overall Americans are friendlier than either Canadians or Aussies. I hope my narrative paints a clearer picture for you and your audience. Now, I have a question for you although I’ve read your apology to Canberrans - _how did_ you conclude that Sydney is the capital of Oz 🤔 just kidding …I won’t rub it in.

On four occasions Dom makes it abundantly clear that he is totally committed to Australia having LARGE-SCALE immigration programs. This is because the MORE featherless bipeds you draw into the country is going to propel the economy by virtue of increasing demand of goods and services. He informs us that, he is a “big proponent of economic immigration”, and how this comes to fruition by way of the population of Australia (proportionally speaking) is increasing twice the rate of the US, and 6 times higher than France each year. One aspect of this program that he singles out is with international students: who are classified as temporary migrants - the great majority of whom are hoping to utilise their time here to gain permanent residency. Apropos to this, comes to pass with gloating about the revenue that international students channel into the country to stimulate the economy. Alas, the 1.1 million international students currently in Australia are the key factor with why availability of properties to rent, and why it is that rents are exorbitant. Therefore, because these interlopers need places to live in must culminate with placing extreme pressure on the availability of properties to rent: and this is so in all of the capital cities. This irrefutably means that, collectively, because they are vying for abodes to live in equates to them being responsible with why Australians are paying excessive rents. To demonstrate just how much Australia has OVERDOSED on international students is to point out that, the US, with a population 13 times that of Australia, has just (sic) 1.4 million international students in its dominion, in comparison to its 1.1 million. This means that for the US to have a ‘comparable’ number of internationals students to that of Australia would require it to have at least 13 million. Aside from these interlopers dispossessing Australians from having abodes to live in and, indeed, why rents are between 20-25 more than what they should be, another dire consequence of MASSIVELY OVERDOSING on ISs prevails with them being between 65 percent to 48 percent of 11 of the top 14 universities in Australia. But, of the 1.1 million in Australia, less than 200,000 undertake courses that can be construed as being worthwhile: such as medicine, engineering, architecture and IT. Amongst the remaining 900,000 is taken up with studying business and accountancy (400,000). Also, there are also in excess of 150,000 people in Australia on a student visa enrolled in vocational education and training courses: these courses include mundane spheres such as cooking, and hospitality. As for the rest, there are well over 100,000 foreigners - significantly from the PRC - studying English. And there are also at least 60,000 people in the country enrolled in primary and secondary levels of study. Clearly, the treacherous cohort of politicians - who are acting at the DEDICATED behest of educational institutions, big business concerns, and property developers - are fully prepared to sell their own people out: in order to propel economic growth. Unfortunately, what these low-life cretins don’t care one iota about is the horrible sociological cataclysm that will come to pass in 10-15 years when these re-colonists with no allegiance to Australia will subjugate the host country and people.

and when large scale apartments are built in Aus, they are not affordable and basic they are top of line luxury, way too expensive..

I live in Adelaide Australia and the housing affordability is pretty bad here.....not as bad as Melbourne or Sydney but bad enough that many young people have given up hope of owning their own home. And if they did scrape enough money for a deposit for a home theyd be under mortgage stress for the next 30 years. New homed are not only a big rip off but made of poor quality. Rents are unaffordable for many....if youre luckily enough to find rental accommodation to fit your budget. Bottom line is, Australia is a rip off country. if you got money left in your pocket after pay day then they think youre getting paid too much. Cost of living outpacing wage growth. 30 years olds still living with their parents. few Australians have children because they simply cant afford them. thats why we have mass immigration from the 3rd world which is changing the demographics of the nation. Australia is the luckier country, not the lucky country. If youre rich you'll love it.

Too right, lived here in Adelaide for almost my whole life and it was once a very affordable place to buy and live but no longer. I studied for many years at Uni and TAFE to end up with terrible employment opportunities here but ended up staying due to family. I have a mate who moved here from Canada a few years ago (originally from UK) and has a high paying job... He bought what I'd consider to be just a normal house in a decent beachside area and it was 1.6 Million Dollars. His mortgage is massive. Seems everything in Australia has gotten far worse since the 'health crisis' too.

We can really blame John Howard and the liberals for setting up an unequal market by cutting the capital gains tax in half and making negative gearing so easy to utilise so that anyone that had capital could become a future landlord and just get the tenants to pay the mortgage off. Now we live in a dystopian society of slum lords renting shitty housing for crazy prices because there is so much demand. Adelaide could have expanded a decade ago as there was always new land down south but that's how this market keeps going through the idea of scarcity, now everything is "Urban infill" which is creating more problems than it was trying to solve.

On four occasions Dom makes it abundantly clear that he is totally committed to Australia having LARGE-SCALE immigration programs. This is because the MORE featherless bipeds you draw into the country is going to propel the economy by virtue of increasing demand of goods and services. He informs us that, he is a “big proponent of economic immigration”, and how this comes to fruition by way of the population of Australia (proportionally speaking) is increasing twice the rate of the US, and 6 times higher than France each year. One aspect of this program that he singles out is with international students: who are classified as temporary migrants - the great majority of whom are hoping to utilise their time here to gain permanent residency. Apropos to this, comes to pass with gloating about the revenue that international students channel into the country to stimulate the economy. Alas, the 1.1 million international students currently in Australia are the key factor with why availability of properties to rent, and why it is that rents are exorbitant. Therefore, because these interlopers need places to live in must culminate with placing extreme pressure on the availability of properties to rent: and this is so in all of the capital cities. This irrefutably means that, collectively, because they are vying for abodes to live in equates to them being responsible with why Australians are paying excessive rents. To demonstrate just how much Australia has OVERDOSED on international students is to point out that, the US, with a population 13 times that of Australia, has just (sic) 1.4 million international students in its dominion, in comparison to its 1.1 million. This means that for the US to have a ‘comparable’ number of internationals students to that of Australia would require it to have at least 13 million. Aside from these interlopers dispossessing Australians from having abodes to live in and, indeed, why rents are between 20-25 more than what they should be, another dire consequence of MASSIVELY OVERDOSING on ISs prevails with them being between 65 percent to 48 percent of 11 of the top 14 universities in Australia. But, of the 1.1 million in Australia, less than 200,000 undertake courses that can be construed as being worthwhile: such as medicine, engineering, architecture and IT. Amongst the remaining 900,000 is taken up with studying business and accountancy (400,000). Also, there are also in excess of 150,000 people in Australia on a student visa enrolled in vocational education and training courses: these courses include mundane spheres such as cooking, and hospitality. As for the rest, there are well over 100,000 foreigners - significantly from the PRC - studying English. And there are also at least 60,000 people in the country enrolled in primary and secondary levels of study. Clearly, the treacherous cohort of politicians - who are acting at the DEDICATED behest of educational institutions, big business concerns, and property developers - are fully prepared to sell their own people out: in order to propel economic growth. Unfortunately, what these low-life cretins don’t care one iota about is the horrible sociological cataclysm that will come to pass in 10-15 years when these re-colonists with no allegiance to Australia will subjugate the host country and people.

Another issue faced by us in Australia stems from the fact that property investment has become the main way to build capital. If you increase the supply of housing, home owners will lose money on their investment. It's in every home owner's best interest to restrict supply and drive up demand for what limited housing there is. On top of this, the proportion of rentals to homes for sale has sky rocketed, trapping most of the younger generations into either renting, or forking out 20 years salary to pay for a house. On top of this, Australian consumers are some of the most over-leveraged in the world. The only way a lot of people from my generation are going to be able to afford a property is when our parents die and transfer their relatively astronomical wealth to us. I don't want my parents to have to die for me to live my best life.

This is the same al over the world bro😅 Nothing to do with Australia. Here in Munich 300.000€ 50sqm condo 😅 In my home city Budapest 120.000€ the same size.... so, it is not an australian problem at all.

Oh you have no idea.. there's rich people buying up blocks of land and putting pop up or as you'd call them trailer park houses on tiny plots and selling the house to boomers with monthly land leases, and when they pass on, the house and land is given back to the rich land owners to be sold onto the next person. I want to leave Aus as I can't afford a house here anymore it's just depressing.

Which in other words means that they're Profit 4X the amount on international students over Canadian born. They have no intentions or ever express reducing immigrations. They're trying to bring in 100k Ukrainians this year.

And the wise rulers of oz have just imported another 500,000. And no they are not all all skilled /qualified. The construction industry can attest to that. The amount of new highrise buildings and houses that are failing within the last ten fifteen years is insane. Im a builder and i tell everyone Do not buy a house built by any of the big mobs or any high rise /apartments built in the last fifteen years.

Australian here: my parents sold our previous house in 2003 for $400,000. Since then it has been sold 4 times and last changed hands for $1.8 million. The area is now highly desirable and wealthy Chinese families send their kids to the local high school and the only way to do that is owning property within the school zone

Government concessions for investments in housing contribute to the high cost of home ownership and rents in Australia. Unfettered migration to Australia doesn't help either. There are still many people who can afford to live in Australia. Those who own their own homes are mostly doing okay. People on very high incomes are doing fine. Politicians are comfortable with their incomes. The people who are really hurting are those on low or fixed incomes and those who are renting.. We can't fix the housing crisis until greedy investors realise that they shouldn't self-aggrandise at the expense of others in the community.

@@andreaslind6338 > Seriously though, is NIMBYism in Australia also tinged with racism like it is in America? Partly, but it's not so clear as there are no exclusive gated communities here or mass relocations to segregate and avoid Blacks for example. NIMBY racism however happens en masse as policy. In Sydney, many First Nations people were relocated out of the city by the Howard Government for the Sydney Olympic Games, and elsewhere it is very serious e.g the Northern Territory Intervention and abduction of children and relocation of whole communities to get access to uranium. In the city, I'd estimate 1 in 8 people here are racist, whether they consciously act on NIMBYism probably not all though each district has certain tolerances and intolerances. e.g. Sydney CBD and surrounds is reasonably pro-Chinese and pro-Asian but anti-Indigenous and I suppose anti-Islander (I have never met an Islander living in the city). 1-2hrs North West in the Blue Mountains region there was a history of freed convict land owners and racial violence (genocide), and I hear bigoted friends mention "Arabs", "Afghans", and "Mexicans" (likely media influenced - Republicanism/Trumpism). But should an ethnic family move into such a semi-rural area it may trigger NIMBYism, usually only if neighbours feel the new resident is cramping their 'quality of life' or standing out unacceptably. 1-2hr South to the Cronulla area there's been a more recent history of race riots, with Australian flags on windows and cars. I have worked and passed through these places and never seen any First Nation people, anyone dark-skinned, obviously coloured or ethnic, wearing Middle Eastern or non-European clothing in these places.

This Australian problem is a bigger Canadian problem especially in Vancouver and Toronto with the difference that in Canada the salaries are not as high as in Australia. Unbelievable!! Great video, makes us Canadians feel we're not alone!

As an Aussie working in social housing i think you spoke quite well on the topic. Something touched on lightly is that aussies live on the coast, to elaborate, country towns are behind in infrastructure and overall quality of life, so we all flock towards the metropolitan oceanside for modern quality lifestyles, this also bumps up the prices. You can quite comfortably buy property in rural areas for cheap prices, people just dont want to, and i dont blame them.

To make matters worse, the building codes for high-density high-rise apartments are quite inadequate to ensure quality built.

Just take the Netherlands as an example, it is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, but with the best infrastructure in the world. Build a new city with European, Dutch-style infrastructure that is easily walkable and has great public transport, and stores, and shops on every corner, and do the marketing trick, so everyone will love to live in such a city. The supply will go up, and the demand for houses will go down. And trust me, I have lived in Europe (The Netherlands) and I have lived in New Zealand/Australia, it is 100% easier to live in a dense city, especially in a European (Dutch infrastructure) city. Walkable, likable, with great public transport and with shops on every corner. And a lot od squares. People will love it. Cheers.

I was hearing tons of issues with housing in the Netherlands 2 years ago did it fix? Also your argument sounds nice but let's be honest. It won't happen. With all respect it just sounds like you fall into the category if people who say what should happen rather than the what will actually happen. I'm not disagreeing with you on how that would probably be beneficial. It just won't happen. You can support something while acknowledging the flaws.

Part of the problem is that people buy houses as investments, not just places to live. Everyone expects to make a significant profit when they sell or rent out. Australians invest their money in houses rather than other things like shares or small businesses, because it's a safe bet with good returns. The favourable real estate laws could be changed, but the lawmakers are typically the biggest landlords. Who wants to support changes that disadvantage you personally.

Can I use part of your video for my website. Would like to discuss. Thanks

Are you sure your not equating the "City of Melbourne" as the city of Melbourne? That is, there is the council administrative area of the "City of Melbourne" , a collection of inner city suburbs, & there is the city of "Melbourne" a vast metropolitan area of inner, middle, & outer suburbs, made up of many "city" council administrative regions, such as the "City of Moreland", the "City of Darebin" , the "City of Port Philip", the "City of Melbourne" etc .. In the graphic used in the video for the metropolitan area of Melbourne, all of that is urban & contiguous, so would very much count as City of "Melbourne", vs the much smaller "City of Melbourne" council administrative area, made up of the CBD & immediate suburbs. Or maybe the "true size" you state is just wildly outdated as "Melbourne" grew by a million people in 10 years before 2018 & has grown considerably since. Many of the previous gaps between suburbs have been filled, new suburbs built, council administrative areas added, & infill density development unleashed.. Just like many population statistics often take 10 years to use new census data in their calculations, so it is with many stats of urban areas globally, where the data used is woefully out of date.. I guarantee you that the "true size" of "Melbourne's" supposed area being 2400 km2 fits into one or more of these errors..

This means that for the US to have a ‘comparable’ number of internationals students to that of Australia would require it to have at least 13 million. Aside from these interlopers dispossessing Australians from having abodes to live in and, indeed, why rents are between 20-25 more than what they should be, another dire consequence of MASSIVELY OVERDOSING on ISs prevails with them being between 65 percent to 48 percent of 11 of the top 14 universities in Australia. But, of the 1.1 million in Australia, less than 200,000 undertake courses that can be construed as being worthwhile: such as medicine, engineering, architecture and IT. Amongst the remaining 900,000 is taken up with studying business and accountancy (400,000). Also, there are also in excess of 150,000 people in Australia on a student visa enrolled in vocational education and training courses: these courses include mundane spheres such as cooking, and hospitality. As for the rest, there are well over 100,000 foreigners - significantly from the PRC - studying English. And there are also at least 60,000 people in the country enrolled in primary and secondary levels of study. Clearly, the treacherous cohort of politicians - who are acting at the DEDICATED behest of educational institutions, big business concerns, and property developers - are fully prepared to sell their own people out: in order to propel economic growth. Unfortunately, what these low-life cretins don’t care one iota about is the horrible sociological cataclysm that will come to pass in 10-15 years when these re-colonists with no allegiance to Australia will subjugate the host country and people.

I bought a property in Sydney in 2019 when everyone was crying doom. I have great faith in the Australian economy and it paid off. Buy low sell high…..

I can afford to live in Australia and so can my children.We all committed ourselves when we were students and consequently, have well paid careers.

Not everyone can be well paid but Australia still needs those lower paid jobs done. A society that is no longer able (or willing) to organise itself in such a way as to provide housing for those less well paid people is going backwards. It is all down to foolish choices by past governments. Hopefully in the not too distant future we as a society get a grip once again.

I'm googling french chateu prices because well, it's cheaper than an average house here 😂

The government importing so many economic migrants during a cost of living crisis will create a permanent underclass of resentful people who cannot build any wealth and won’t fight for better living conditions as they have never experienced that here. That’s the scariest thing to me.

On four occasions Dom makes it abundantly clear that he is totally committed to Australia having LARGE-SCALE immigration programs. This is because the MORE featherless bipeds you draw into the country is going to propel the economy by virtue of increasing demand of goods and services. He informs us that, he is a “big proponent of economic immigration”, and how this comes to fruition by way of the population of Australia (proportionally speaking) is increasing twice the rate of the US, and 6 times higher than France each year. One aspect of this program that he singles out is with international students: who are classified as temporary migrants - the great majority of whom are hoping to utilise their time here to gain permanent residency. Apropos to this, comes to pass with gloating about the revenue that international students channel into the country to stimulate the economy. Alas, the 1.1 million international students currently in Australia are the key factor with why availability of properties to rent, and why it is that rents are exorbitant. Therefore, because these interlopers need places to live in must culminate with placing extreme pressure on the availability of properties to rent: and this is so in all of the capital cities. This irrefutably means that, collectively, because they are vying for abodes to live in equates to them being responsible with why Australians are paying excessive rents.

I left and moved to Thailand. No CGT, no Sales Tax on your home, No Land tax, no Council rates just to name a few.

They need to have a few Phoenix/Las Vegas type cities spring up it sounds like, so long as they can get the water...

Basically the way I understand it is this, any 1st world English speaking country wether Canada, Ireland or Australia you will have to work like crazy to live in. So if your determined to not change your language and have safety your going to have accept these things. So basically with house prices so expensive in these countries you gonna have to just pick the spot you like the most and stay there.

Nope! That's because the same greedy group is buying up the real estate to use invest properties and not for living in so anywhere where they allow foreigners to buy up swaths of land and homes purely for speculative purposes, this will happen. Canada has now grown a pair and has blocked foreign buyers until 2028. Of course buyers from that greedy nation have screamed racism. Shocking and ironic but more arrogant than anything that they claim they are the only ones being blocked from buying when Americans and everyone else is also blocked unless they actually plan to move into the country and live there.

I agree with you that no one can afford to live in Australia anymore. As an alternative, what about jolly old England/Ireland in Europe, may I ask? 🤷

May I remind you of the fact that here in Singapore, a tiny island with 6 million souls lives like sardines in a can, where else in nearby vast bountiful Australia in Asia-Pacific which is ten thousand times 10,000 bigger with a mere 27 million inhabitants.. A similar situation in tiny and packed Japan, which is running out of space and land. Do you know that their living room and bedroom are the same place, and that most Japanese people sleep in their living room?

You are not forgotten and will never be forgotten. 🙏🤷 The land is the most valuable thing because there's no more land left in the world. Man's greatest enemy is himself. Greed is an animal. Greed is a major driving force behind Genocide, Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization which are all evil things done and benefited by evildoers.. Greed is behind everything that is bad. Those with no remorse or empathy for others who are greedy are the most cunning. They leave trails of debris, through Genocide, Slavery, Colonialism, Colonization, Imperialism., no matter where they go.. Whenever they left, they left it in strategic violence and tension.. It's such an evil world we live in. 😔

One reason why high density housing isn't being built here is because there's still a social stigma against people living in apartments, townhouses etc as essentially being 'riff raff' so people don't want them built within their neighbourhoods, resulting in apartments only being built in city centres which makes them unaffordable for the typical young family. Add in the exorbitantly high body corp fees, many places not allowing pets and generally poor build quality making sound proofing almost non-existent, and our "luxury" high rise apartment buildings (which is almost all new apartment buildings being built) are far from quality while still averaging $750k to buy. So apartments are barely cheaper than buying a home where you know you can have a dog and where children can run around without neighbours complaining to the body corp. NIMBYs don't want high density housing in their suburbs because it may bring down their land values, and houses in Australia are treated more as investments than family homes, so anything that may bring down home values is strongly opposed. Add in the fact that the people with the most power to change the situation are landlords themselves and there's not much incentive to improve the housing crisis, because people are going to keep paying crazy amounts to avoid the very real risk of homelessness. It's a crisis that is enriching the powerful in Australia so why would they want to change anything?
