The solutions to Australia’s housing affordability crisis are simple: increase supply and lower demand by ending the incentives that treat housing as an investment vehicle rather than someone’s home. If only we had a government brave enough to enact them.

TD Ken O'Flynn has launched a scathing attack on Simon Harris accusing the Tánaiste of having a "Pearl clutching tantrum.” Following a question on benefits for Ukrainian and IPAS refugees “No one buys the tough guy routine, Simon.” Independent Ireland TD for Cork North-Central Ken O’Flynn has launched a scathing attack on Tánaiste Simon Harris after he sought answers to questions around the use of public funding for Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection and international protection applicants. Deputy O’Flynn was speaking in the Dáil earlier today, after he had requested the Tánaiste to investigate claims that emerged online yesterday, when a Waterford based business owner took to social media to highlight how the Department of Social Protection were picking up the tab for car and engine repairs for some Ukrainians resident in Ireland. The Tánaiste responded by repeatedly accusing Deputy O’Flynn of ‘dog-whistling’: “God help the poor Tánaiste. I am sure he thought he was being fierce tough in his reply, but to be honest, his preening moral posturing had all the savagery of being mauled by a gummy kitten,” said Deputy O’Flynn.

ACOSS new report shows concessions from property investors cost the budget more than the government spends on social housing, homelessness and rent assistance combined 🤯 Sensible changes like capping the number of investment properties that can be negatively geared, limiting capital gains tax to new builds to incentivise supply & having a national plan for housing that's tied to population, immigration and workforce. Politicians need to find the courage to pursue structural reform & to start treating housing as a human right.
