Prime Minister Anthony Albanese sang praise for the first project under his government's $2 billion social housing accelerator fund. Not everyone is convinced social housing is the answer to Australia's housing crisis.

They're not trying to solve the problem they created. It's a glorious political football that leaves people screaming for aid for decades.

No different from shooting someone just enough to make them scream and cry all night to demoralise their friends hiding nearby.

It's a tactic, and the ALP uses it as day to day political fare.

And that's why they don't respect the Greens. The Greens plan to stupidly solve all these issues which will leave them with fewer entrapments. What's politics without mass entrapment?!

Having to move house because you don't own your home is sadly pretty normal in Australia. I dislike moving, but as we rent, that's the reality. Of my last five moves, only one was by choice.
