Australia has been promised a solution to the housing crisis: affordable rental housing delivered with private developers, public money and big investors.
where is the actual affordable housing? why is this "affordable housing" for people on median and above incomes? yes it's important to provide median earners with affordable housing but what about those earning less, and those living below the poverty line on DSP/unemployment - shouldn't we be focusing on them first? we need public housing and truly affordable housing, not these weak agreements that are only making greedy developers even richer off the public purse
If $400for a single person is 'affordable' then im cooked as a single person. There is nothing affordable about $400 per person. This is $800 per week for two person rental.
Makes no sense from the bottom looking up, makes perfect sense from the top looking down. We are mistaken if we think that policies are for the betterment of the people.
Like everything, it's legalized corruption. redistributing public wealth to the rich. selling out our resources now selling out our basic human rights.
Last guy nailed it: 'A mentality has taken over around how do we turn everything into a vehicle for private entities to make a return from being involved and that's in areas which we never thought possible, aged care, child care, disability, housing'. And in every single one of those areas we have also seen massive abuse of the system, corruption, neglect of human rights and even in the case of childcare major failures to protect children from predators. How many more indictments of this stupid, wilfully blind system that props up the private sector and fails society, do we need??
