@BenPhillips_ANU Show the graph as accumulated number over time. The percentage is compounding and mis represents the reality.

Then divide it by the pop of Canberra and point to the Canberra we built to sustain the population increase over that same timeline.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@MikeBromley15 @TheKouk He understands, it is the same reason he used percentages. It is an attempt missrepresent and to control the narrative with authority to create an emotional response to divide ppl into tribes.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@TheKouk Now compound and use actual numbers so not to miss represent. Then divide it by the pop of Canberra and point to the new Canberra's that have been built to sustain the growth.

@SimonBanksHB Why do we need to pay taxes when the gov can create debt to pay for everything we want?

Because the world would not trust the value of our money. So there is a cost to free money and we see that in inflation.

Chocolate bars up again in the super markets. Inflation still hot.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@AshPolitik Why do even pay taxes? The gov can just print money for all the things we want.
We don't because then our money would be worthless. Meaning there is a limit to free money before the money becomes worthless.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@AshPolitik We don't have a right to freedom of speech in Australia.

At best it is an implied promise. As articulated by Minns in the shadow of Bondi.

I think we should we should have a bill of rights that protects the individual from the mob and balances and protects from gov overreach.

@Brendon5374 When house prices only go up, one YOLO as much at possible to get into the pyramid scheme. Meaning house prices are set by how much the bank is willing to lend you.
Pyramid schemes fail when entry demand collapses. Immigration drives demand, which is why govs don't touch it.

@ALeighMP @AlboMP @ClareONeilMP To address affordable we need to set sustainable immigration policies and stop spending debt into stagflation to bring down inflation.
This is just a distraction.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@AlboMP Oz has not had a replacement birthrate since the 1980's. Any struggling to call a place home is a result of gov immigration policies.

Set sustainable immigration policies and stop adding debt to a stagflation economy. This is the way.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@belinduhpyne Competence and experience is a strength.

Most ppl don't care about race, sex or diversity, they want the best person.

Strawmanning immigration down to racism is about creating an emotional response and forcing ppl into tribes to divide.

Think logically, not emotionally.

[Tarric Brooker aka Avid Commentator 🇦🇺 @AvidCommentator]

The Albanese government talks about wanting "sustainable" housing price rises.

Meanwhile, dwelling prices are up by 13.9% in Adelaide, 17.5% in Brisbane or 21.5% in Perth.

@colonelhogans Immigration is not a zero sum issue. Just like migrants are not.

Unsustainable immigration is, along with strawmanning the issue down to you must be racists and gaslighting ppls reality of trying to rent and standard of living going backwards.

But be quiet, because unity.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@Markyles Cut spending.

Just like a business or a family when they find there expenses are greater then there income, the first step is to cut lifestyle creep. It is difficult to grow income.

The govs job us to find ways to reduce the budget, not ways to tax ppl more.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@SteveWoosnam Immigration is not a zero sum issue. When Oz has not had a replacement birthrate since the 1980's any supply/demand imbalance or hospital beds etc. is a net result of unsustainable immigration.
Strawmanning it down to, we would lose the world cup, is an emotional response.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@ProfSteveKeen Just include house prices in the CPI calc.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@bradpsychology Addressing unsustainable immigration is not a zero sum issue. Migration isn't the issue, unsustainablity is.
Strawmanning it down to racism is an attempt to frame the argument around emotion and divide people into tribes so my team wins no matter what.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@RizviAbul Oz has not had a replacement birthrate since the 1980's. Any supply/demand imbalance is a result of immigration policies.

Imbalance creates leverage, which drives up rates.

Currently if you get a rental you thanks the Gods and pay whatever because vacancies are so low.

[BarneyBuffet @BarneyBuffet]

@TonyShepherd4 Be quite, because unity.
Be taxed more, because unity.
Accept higher debt, because unity.
Accept higher energy prices, because unity.
Cannot get a rental, because unity.
Leave your house unlocked, because unity.

@AshPolitik Let's create the circumstances to provide cover for changes we never had a mandate to do, ran elections campains on and lost and promised we never would but did.

Broken faith, trust and leadership.

@PatriciaRy54370 @theoztrucker I'm more worried about MPs milking the system, like Anika Wells.

Everyone is tighting there belts and looking for ways to save money. The Gov is looking for ways to increase taxes and still spend beyond our means.
