@John_the_svg @ausstockchick Why are we seeing different realities?

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@John_the_svg @ausstockchick That’s strange because my experience is that they’ve all gone hard right and saying that they’re gonna vote for one nation.

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@Teal_Linner @ausstockchick Yes!!!! I was so happy thinking the government was finally gonna start acting in younger generations interests only to hear that they’re gonna grandfather them anyway. There’s literally no point in them doing this. It’s going to create zero change for years. What’s the point?

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@baoshaoshan Don’t forget that we are currently building houses for US troops and weapons manufacturers at a rate of one house per week. We even created a task force specifically for that but there’s no task force for building houses for Aussies in our own country.

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@MChandlerMather please talk more about the housing crisis like you used to. The HAFF was just a lie created by labour to look like they’re doing something, but they’re not. There are real Aussies living in their cars. I have been separated from my son and I’m not alone.

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@MChandlerMather @DavidShoebridge You've called out AUKUS waste. The govt is building 1 house a week for foreign troops/contractors while social housing stock fell by 1,143 units last year. Please don’t let them hide this in the #Budget2026 tonight. #HousingCrisis #AUKUS

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

While we wait for the #Budget2026 "fairness" speech, remember: In Aug 2025, the govt quietly passed a law to build & prioritize housing for US troops & foreign arms contractors (AUKUS). 
I'm living in my car while they build for Boeing.

We haven’t stopped working; we’ve stopped believing in a rigged game. "Productivity" is down because you’ve broken the social contract. You stopped investing in people and started investing in assets and AUKUS. Why work for a system that won’t house you? #Budget2026 #AusPol

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

When the Govt complains about "low productivity" tonight, they should look at people like me. Why should Millennials & Gen Z participate in an economy that treats housing as a luxury asset and foreign military as the priority? (1/2)

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@AlboMP @JEChalmers @JulieCollinsMP Why was a dedicated “AUKUS Community Taskforce” set up in March 2026 to guarantee housing for foreign troops, but there’s no emergency taskforce for Australians like me living in vehicles? Who are you actually working for? #Budget2026

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

The Govt says we have a builder shortage. Yet our defence force is using private builders to build 1 house/week for AUKUS. We have the builders—we just have a Govt that prioritizes US troops and weapons manufacturers over Australians. #Budget2026 #HousingCrisis

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@AlboMP @JEChalmers @JulieCollinsMP
Explain how it's "fair" that the 2025 DHA Bill prioritizes housing for US troops & Boeing contractors while I’m living in my car. Why was a Taskforce created for them but not for the 170k Aussies on waitlists? #Budget2026 #AusPol #AUKUS

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@AnikaWells I’ve lived in Stafford for years and my son went to school there. Now I’m living in my car. How can you justify fast-tracking homes for Boeing employees while your own constituents are sidelined? Is this the "better future" you’re voting for tonight? #Lilley #Stafford

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

The govt proved they CAN build at scale and speed—they just chose to do it for foreign military and Boeing contractors instead of us.

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

- 2,500+ properties were fast-tracked for defense moves this year alone. 

Meanwhile, for the rest of us:
❌Total public housing stock FELL by 1,143 units last year.
❌ Only 889 HAFF homes have actually been finished since 2022.

#Budget2026 #HousingCrisis #AusPol #AUKUS

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

The math doesn't lie. While we’re told public housing is "too slow" to build:
- DHA just finished 113 homes in Canberra & 40 in Adelaide (Aug/Oct 2025).
- They’re building 1 home PER WEEK in Rockingham right now for the AUKUS influx.

Absolutely phenomenal customer service once again from @felixmobileau! Really came through for me during a particularly tight month after I submitted a request for financial hardship support. Loyal customer for life!

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@IDreamOfGems They don’t have any milk to buy though because a million families in Brisbane decided they needed 30 litres of milk to sustain them for two fcking days!

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

Can ppl from Brisbane pls explain what do you hoarders need all the milk for? Are u bathing in it, ffs? #Brisbane #CycloneAlfred #ExCycloneAlfred

[Rachel Sandstrom @RachelRaven37]

@IDreamOfGems No power doesn’t stop you from driving your car to a servo. AND there are servos open all over Brisbane. I know cos I’ve driven to half of them.
