The self-serving, shameless lies of Housing Minister Clare O’Neil are a disgusting affront to the dignity of Parliament.
Desperate to hide her breathtaking incompetence and serial failures, she peddles the blatant falsehood that “Australia hasn’t been building enough houses for 40 years.”
The truth is that over the past decade Australia has been a world-beating champion at housing construction — delivering more new homes per capita than almost any other country on Earth, second only to Switzerland.
Then she has the gall to lie about Labor “building all these new homes.”
The facts destroy her narrative: Labor is now deep into its fifth year in government, with a workforce swollen by an extra million people, yet housing completions are substantially lower than they were a decade ago.
Even the RBA is sounding the alarm that Labor’s spiteful changes to capital gains tax will drive housing construction even further into the ground.
When it comes to lying through her teeth and deceiving the Australian public on the floor of Parliament, Clare O’Neil stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Anthony Albanese as one of the worst offenders in the country.
Australia’s housing crisis is a direct result of Albanese‘s mass migration policies - importing a net 1.6 million people in judt 4 years is beyond the nation’s capacity to build new homes and infrastructure at that speed.
And Labor lie, because they know that’s the truth, but their mass migration policies are all about impirting Labor voters so they can rule indefinitely - and they don’t give a stuff about how many Australians they make homeless - power comes first.
The Albanese regime are not only our worst government - they are our most dishonest and deceitful.
Albanese
A man who has been on the government payroll his entire life
Almost no real world experience
Only lived in Sydney’s Inner West, never lived overseas, never done substantive travelling until he became PM and now it’s on the taxpayers he’s off on a jolly every time we turn around
He held one job for five minutes in the private sector in 1980 and is otherwise a professional politician
Never run a business, employed someone or had to navigate the tax system in private sector
No wonder our country is in so much trouble
The man running it has no idea

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
Guillermo Rein, a professor of fire science at Imperial College London, said: “It’s a new technology that comes with an unintended new hazard, that keeps me awake at night.
“A lithium battery fire – in terms of the way it develops, the way we detect it and how we suppress it – is completely different from the sorts of fires we have protected our homes, businesses and public buildings against. It breaches most of the layers of protection that we know. And they [the batteries] are omnipresent.”
Existing data suggests a significant escalation in these fires in recent years. London fire brigade reports that firefighters attended 206 e-bike and e-scooter fires in 2025, compared with 12 in 2019. In total there were 521 related fires, compared with 80 in 2019. Of five fatalities in the past three years, none of the dead owned the e-bike involved. LFB says these fires have had a “devastating effect” on families and communities.
There is no specific data collection for lithium battery-related fires in England and Wales, now under review. But, according to the latest FoI data from the Scottish fire and rescue service, there were 69 lithium battery-related fires in Scotland in 2025, compared with 20 in 2019, including 10 house fires last year, two in hospitals and three in prisons.

@australian Labor government steals more money from taxpayers & electricity consumers to “save” a crucial aluminium smelter from closing due to the Uniparty’s expensive solar & wind generation electricity prices
