The ‘fair go’ has gone and stage one of the revolution has happened

We have been warned. Even here in the land of the mythical “fair go”, we can no longer feel smug about our alleged egalitarianism.: “No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality. In fact, there is no example in human history where wealth accumulated like this and the pitchforks didn’t eventually come out. You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. It’s not if, it’s when.

When young people discovered that they couldn’t afford to buy property in areas such as Bondi and Hawthorn, they blamed the government, voting in Allegra Spender and Monique Ryan. The lack of affordable housing was also a factor in the election of Zoe Daniel in Goldstein. Despite a desperate need for affordable housing along with spaces for refugees and creatives, Callan Park is just a place for Radio National listeners to walk their dogs.During the nightmare years, texting the local WhatsApp group would often yield the location of your vodka-soaked teenager within an hour, accompanied by an offer to bring him home. We were basically the Stasi, in better clothes.

All Australian capital cities are experiencing these problems, where young people can’t leave home and live anywhere remotely near their places of work and study. No wonder they’re angry.

I see some changes in the way labour is responding to housing affordability. Queensland is leading the way. If the labour in Canberra doesn’t do something about it then surely the next election will see more independents than mainstream politicians. Renters have an upper hand now

Of course she lives in Balmain. What a nonsense first world problem piece written by a champagne socialist.

The broad message of this article is right. If we condemn a whole generation to paying high rents because we are not building enough homes, social stability will slowly but steadily disappear.

hahahahaha. while people want only the best and brand new they will never be able to afford it. an old house for $250k and another 100k to renovate it vs $250k and $1.5mil to build a new one on the land.

Fair go is alive & well… but you have to get off your backside & earn it. That’s the missing link. Too many now have zero work ethic, don’t strive to achieve, simply think they should be given everything. A societal shift to socialism is born of apathy, laziness & ignorance.

Government’s approach to budget is ‘one of honesty’Finance Minister Katy Gallagher says the approach the government is taking on the budget is one of honesty. “We’re doing what we can in the October budget to go through the previous measures, the waste audit, having a look at making sure that the spending that’s currently being provided is going where we need it the most,” Ms Gallagher said. “But there’s a lot more work to be done, and it’s not going to be just dealt with in October.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That is in contrast to the previous corrupt incompetent rabble. But there was a plan

UK may ‘go back to pre-industrial revolution’ times as energy crisis worsensBrexit movement leader Nigel Farage says former UK prime minister Boris Johnson was the “high priest of net zero” during his time – even as the former leader lashed out at energy policy. “What nuclear power gives you is baseload but for us to build a major new nuclear facility in Suffolk on the east coast of England – which is what Boris was doing on that day – it’ll be at least 12 years before that’s in production,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “By that time, we may well have economically have gone back to pre the Industrial Revolution because we won’t have any hot water, we won’t have any computers.” Farage is another Andrew Bolt perfect for sky’s biased reporting. Get those water wheels turning by jove.
