Housing costs, rental or purchase, are only resolved by supply and ending real estate's position as an investment vehicle.

That means large scale public housing investment to the point that it actively devalues property on a capital value bases. Rental yields are already a poor investment on their own. That leaves the "just park the money" crowd with a simple choice: sell now or watch it depreciate.

Good. The behaviour of the state government towards the residents of public housing in Victoria has been nothing short of abusive.

Putting aside all the issues with any foreign national fighting on behalf of other nations in the least complicated scenarios, in the current Pacific context and with Australia's position against China's growing involvement in the region I find it hard to believe the entanglements this would potentially produce aren't considered a fringe benefit.

Something we're seeing in the closeness between those individuals and organisations vocally supporting said ethnonationalism and white supremacists. Be that Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL and Musk in the US, or Avi Yemini and our various white supremacist and neo-nazi organisations right here in Melbourne.

"Ethnonationalist international" is quite the global phenomena at the moment. Up until they share a border anyway.
