Probably safe to assume that by housing affordability he means affordability of mansions and by cutting red tape he’s referring to getting rid of regulations stopping him from sucking up whats left of the Murray Darling…
Mr Taylor also flagged the Opposition would push back on any changes to the capital gains tax discount, which benefits property investors when they sell their properties.
“If you tax something more, you get less of it,” he said.
Yes, less investors more owners? ??
This dimwit is a bright spark
He’s deliberately conning people who don’t know better.
So he’s going to spend all his time criticising the Government for not doing anything to make housing cheaper , whilst simultaneously blocking any policy changes that might actually help. All the while proposing zero policies that will help housing affordability
Luckily the coalition has limited ability to block anything of consequence right now, hopefully they don’t get the opportunity to manipulate the population with their bullshit.
A big-L liberal.
How many houses dies he own?
Yeah, malaka self-serving politician. Easy to poo poo on Labor from the sidelines, no way he’s gonna tank his fortune.
He can say whatever he likes, but only fools would believe him, because - like everyone else in the LNP - he’s lied incessantly for decades, and keeps warm by lodging himself firmly up Gina’s large intestine.
Unfortunately, Albanese’s tarnished Labor so much, they’re not a viable alternative. Clearly doing something about housing affordability requires more than just a promise. And maybe he should’ve asked the country first whether or not we wanted a genocidal maniac over for high tea.
Given I’m not a raging bigot and possess an IQ over 90, I won’t be voting PHON.
Or Clot of Trumpriots (or whatever Palmer will market himself as this go-round, with his eye-searing yellow billboards).
Best this former Labor voter can hope for is a decent Indy and the Greens.
Yeah you couldn’t really say Labor isn’t captured by corporate interests at a federal or state level but at least their corruption isn’t as blatant as the Coalition. I’m honestly shocked at how easily country voters are duped into voting for the Nationals.
Albanese and Labor do seem to make quite a few dubious decisions, I wonder how effective sending letters expressing my opinion might be on the Labor policy of toeing the line …
Couldn’t hurt.
