Some thoughts on implications for 🇦🇺 after the US election. First priority: turn slogans into reality.

Complete policy failure and appears very little political will to do anything meaningful to tackle the problem. Wicked combination of under supply and absurd negative gearing has created a disaster for the community.
Collapsing home ownership rates coupled with an explosion in household debt service ratios. Post year 2000. Australia #1 in the world when it comes to wide spread, multi jurisdictional house prices coupled with astronomical debt service ratios.
20 years in the making. Easily the worse policy failure in this country’s history. No point blaming the current Labor government. As you can see - this train wreck got derailed a long time ago.
Invisible Australians. Zero political bandwidth is dedicated to helping this young mum.
Why bother trying to solve this problem, which is actually the responsibility of everyone elected to the federal parliament, when you can grandstand on a conflict you will never be personally asked to fix. Lazy politics.
Lazy politics comes at great cost for those who lack political representation in this country.
