Well, I'm sure the war isn't helping, but you can't get away with blaming it on that. Housing unaffordability started way before then.

(Or is he not talking about this specific war, and he means war in the middle east in general? So ... great! We can have affordable houses once there's peace in the middle east. No biggie.)

This is what happens when you let trust fund kids rise to the top in lieu of a meritocracy.

Voters asked for this, lets not pretend like the current roster of MP's isnt the exact same as who got us here.

It comes as a surprise to me to find out that the affordability crisis is only 10 days old. I guess it just felt like it was decades in the making.

If only people could be educated and engaged enough to vote on merit then.

Really? A crisis ongoing for close to 10 years now was a result of a war that started last week?

Fuck off.

Maybe this is another position the Carney government will take "with regret" 😅

Lol, you'd have to be drinking anti-freeze for that to make any sense.
