Unfortunately, it looks like he's going to elected in a couple years. I just hope people remember after a term of the Conservatives cutting important environmental policies like the carbon tax, that they will have failed to make like more affordable AND fucked up the environment more.
The conservative parties that won in the UK didn't manage to make things more affordable, the conservative party that won in Australia didn't manage it either, no party anywhere has managed it.
This crisis isn't caused by local government zoning policies, approval red tape, or anything else that the parties are talking about. It's caused by landowners (including people who own only one property) using a home as an investment.
You cannot have homes appreciate in value faster than inflation (investments) and also have affordable housing. It's impossible. That's literally just a pyramid scheme.
Until the government starts implementing policies that start reducing existing home prices, this will not be fixed. Building more units doesn't do this unless you build impossibly (literally impossible) large numbers.
So stop voting with your emotions and vote with your brain.

It's a problem with sex and consent and how consent is an impossible legal concept to prosecute except in obvious situations where it is actively revoked.
It's currently impossible for anyone to know they have the consent of their partner if the partner can always revoke it while saying nothing, or even while their partner is actively saying yes and then claiming duress later. If consent is impossible to know for sure, having sex is a huge legal liability for everyone participating.
That just isn't legally tenable as a situation unless the goal is literally to prevent everyone from having sex. That's a terrible idea, so the better options is to pick a different method of defining consent.
It may not be what some people want, but unless we want to change our legal system's requirement for "beyond a reasonable doubt" I don't see a better option.
