"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people’s ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise."

Fantastic article by @MaresPeter. Broad based land tax a sensible piece of the affordability puzzle. But of course there are no politicians brave enough to champion such a policy. When will pollies grow a spine and make hard decisions on housing? https://t.co/wpWaHt5Uya

"Get a job that pays good money" isn't enough anymore - everyone should get two jobs instead! #housingcrisis #auspol https://t.co/IDDNsrxqAS

I'm still struggling with this labyrinthine etiquette after moving to the US. This article has 11 categories of tips! How about paying a living wage and building into the price so I don't need to engage in mental gymnastics #america #tipping @sfchronicle

Ironic, swapping ‘physical’ Bitcoin. Some language from the old world doesn’t transplant well #crypto #btc @ccn https://t.co/D6SDT3I4uF

Unsurprising. What do you expect when rents and house prices are so high? Shall we move to Tamworth instead?

[Benjamin Ward @benjaminpeterw]

Sensible policy steps - that will of course be ignored by politicians due to vested interests #housing

Jean earns $160,000 a year tax free then because of the imputation rort, collects another $12,000 from other tax payers - Nice! https://t.co/7ufG1vSXav

Why does any modest policy change targeting older Australians generate outrage? Because the majority of voters are over 50yo. Let's keep screwing over the younger generation instead! Yay negative gearing and higher uni fees! #auspol #BabyBoomers https://t.co/CtGzv3piR5

[Benjamin Ward @benjaminpeterw]

Housing affordability solutions are obvious. But Boomers must pay the price to make homes more affordable for Millenials. Politicians don't have the spine for necessary reforms that will create winners and losers #housingcrisis @1RossGittins https://t.co/N9PnX1Ds6e

@indepreserve Do you offer ‘stop loss’ functionality on your platform?

Why are we paying pensions to people with $1m+ in home equity? Means test, impose land tax, and reverse mortgage https://t.co/15kElWjTow

Glad to see we can go to war without a plebiscite. But we need one about what happens in the bedroom #auspol #ssm https://t.co/3McZgBzsfA

@TurnbullMalcolm Distract us while you keep the gays down instead 🌈 #marriageequaility #ssm
