  • In my mind, the only way to fix the housing crisis is to implement policy which will effectively collapse the housing market, and that would be a suicidal move by any party so they just wont do it. Every day is some story of the Government's attempt to fix it, the latest was building 3,000 appartments next to the Metro at Macquarie Park. In what world does anyone think these things will be affordable when they are 30 mins from the city and a walk to the metro?

    The only ways I can see to fix it is to grandfather capital gains tax discounts on investments and kill AirBNB

    Also, while I like the notion of affordable housing, I don't think it is possible to build. Nothing is affordable these days. Affordable labour and materials don't really exist..




  • Same story as everyone else.. I used to have Netflix, Spotify, Disney+ and Tidal, now I only have Tidal. I have always owned a NAS and that is my main source of media consumption now. I just cant justify the $100 or so a month it costs to keep all these services and I struggle to find anything I am interested in. The worst thing about streaming services is the disruption to the movie industry.. movies these days either feel like a couple of $200m+ productions or straight to streaming.. there is no in between, and the straight to streaming stuff feels half cooked
