The expectation that owning multiple homes should guarantee you a profit needs to disappear. Investing in property should carry the same risk as any other investment.This is my major gripe with federal labour.
They need to remove punitive hurdles for jobseekers, increase funding of the basics in the social safety net and build more public housing.
These aren't even gigantic budget busting commitments. Make housing more accessible and life for a large part of the population less punitive and you'd guarantee reelection. There'd be a significant mandate to introduce structural change that would make housing more affordable.
