I completely agree that public or social housing needs the government to be the builder and developer. Its been done in the past. The other thing this will do is provide a training ground for building apprentices. I suspect that you could correlate the decline in trades with abolishing the Public Works Department. I'm also for a public banks, to act as a defacto banking regulator.
I believe that the decline in trades connects to privatisation too. The apprentice's now need to work at full speed so they don't learn everything, just what's needed at the time.
@ It's almost like investing in your population rather than private enterprise makes your country more stable and imrpoves living conditions for everyone.
With the 30% public housing on new developments, could you also ensure that all the public housing isn’t lumped together on one floor or block? Having it impossible to tell who has public housing ensures more dignity and safety and guards against stigmatisation of people who have been economically crippled to the point of needing the state’s help ( or interference, if you will)
Wondeful PP! It's a shame I don't live in Vic. Hoping your number of followers on this account reach 1.000.000 any day soon. Looking forward to what happens in 2025 Fed Election campaigning. At last, some one standing up fpr what they believe in.
It would also be nice to have policy about making all abilities properties because around 10% of current properties on the rental market are accessible for people with disabilities. Making properties all abilities accessible is SO much cheaper in the build than it is aftermarket, and it means that disabled people are not fighting with abled people for the tiny share of the market that meets our needs.

Really interesting policies here and I love that this would not only create jobs for the builders but as a result of more housing available, more people would be able to continue working as a result as opposed to losing their homes and potentially being unable to keep their current employment. Housing as an investment is so detrimental to society, investments should be made in more new ideas and innovation to improve society. While I don't agree with seizing homes that are technically not abandoned and are in use (short term stays that aren't hotels can still be absolutely valid even though I disagree with people owning a dozen properties) I think the policy does provide a good set of discussion points to work with to push some change. Just need a government who has the integrity to do what is best for the people and not for their own pocket..though I fully expect the ghoul to be elected next, I really hope Australians can prove me wrong
I love the agenda but I also realise that I'm in the 10% of voters that are interested in this change, and 10% in the senate is two seats? And the greens have similar policy, so this does expand on Thier policies, I hope there's more. And a plan on how to weave it through the majority of the senate and then the lower house, because good policy is never easy to get through thanks to vested interests such as the 60% of Australian mortgage and home owners.
Something like removing funding to private schools would be nice. School teachers at public schools send Thier kids to private schools because they don't think it's good enough for their precious ones ..
I would love to see federal support and funding for housing cooperatives run by the community. Public housing is wonderful but when owned by the state, it becomes too easy for them to take away. An entrenchment of our community’s right to own the estates we live in would enable us to defend ourselves against the powerful
@ It’s true that many socialists believe in abolishing the right to private property. I agree that some things should be owned by society (such as schools and banks) but I don’t see any problem with someone owning one single house. I think the problems start when someone owns something they don’t need and tries to profit off of someone who does by renting it. There are lots of forms of socialism, but they generally have the common bond of seizing the means of production. However, it leaves the question, who do we give it to? We could do what Lenin and Mao did and give control over the factories, farms and businesses seized by the revolution to the state. We could instead give these businesses to their workers, turning each business into a worker democracy. Or we could mandate that businesses be under control of a local government that isn’t a state, which would basically be communism. There are lots of ways this can work and socialists often become divided over which economic model is best. 20th century socialist revolutions usually gave everything to the state. These revolutionary governments were usually successful early on but became beset by corruption and, fearing another revolution, persecuted their citizens. The Revolution traded the capitalist ruling class for a ruling class of apparatchiks. Out of everything we’ve learned from the 20th century, I think giving all the power to one group always works out badly. I think sharing as much power as possible amongst communities is great because it gives everyone have a say over what matters most, our home, our town, our friends and family. I think this is the most democratic and liberating way we can manage society. I like community housing models because they are socialist, in that they collectivise wealth for society’s benefit, but they can exist under capitalism
I love it, but drop the "sieze" language, lest normies get triggered. Maybe call it a "buyout" idk, whatever the government calls it when they take your home from you to build a highway, stadium or casino...
You mean the normies who actually understand that none of this is practical in any way and that it will cause even more drama and cost in the housing market? The only thing I heard that was in any way practical was the bit about capital gains and negative gearing but if Govt. does that then the private sector just won't invest in this market imo. All this feel good stuff sounds great but who pays for it all?
@oldbloke204 building public homes with a public builder will increase cost in housing? How? Do the roads become more expensive to use when the government spends billions on road infrastructure? I can't comment on what normies do or don't understand. Only that using words like size won't convince them. Also, in a political situation where you are a minority that will struggle to be elected and only maybe will get some upper house seats... You have to throw every radical idea in that you can. Then... You can negotiate down.
@@CarrollLiddell So you haven't seen all the Govt. programs that are over budget, running late or just wasting money then? How is the cheap renewable power working out for you? No one has the right to seize another person's property unless there are legal reasons so this is just a ridiculous statement imo. Another case of no idea and we want others to pay for it. Yeah electing people with silly views is why we ended up with a particular embarrassment in the upper house a while back imo. All of these ideas rely on someone else paying and no one will want to be that someone else.
5:17 you requested agreement/disagreement in the comments. respectfully, here's why a few of your plans would likely achieve either nothing or make the issue worse. 1) Rent caps force down the incentive to build. This directly undermines the whole point of building housing which is to increase the supply. 2) An external 3rd party to verify that housing is adequate doesn't add anything that isn't already covered by people doing their own inspections. it should be up to people to decide for themselves what housing they find acceptable, rather than banning them from anything that doesn't meet someone else's standards. I am saying this as someone who does not have much money for rent, and would not want my few available options to be declared "unsuitable" by someone else, this is a judgement I can make for myself. Its not being "subjected upon us", you can simply not rent the place 3) Seizing homes that are being used as Airbnbs would be extremely damaging for no major gain. Short term rentals are really useful and taking that away from people is pointlessly destructive. if seizing them is as a way of boosting housing stock, then we could just not artificially disincentivise housing construction by imposing rent caps. 4) Forced public housing achieves the exact same thing as rent caps, which is to temporarily lower rents at the expense of lower supply, which ultimately drives rents way up. You use the term "commodification of housing" as if that means it's extremely profitable. That is almost the exact opposite of what a commodity is. A commodity is a good which is driven down as close as possible to the cost of producing it, like sugar or cement, which is exactly what renters want, because its our money being saved. 5) Reducing home loan prices is just a subsidy for demand. This drives prices up. You cannot subsidise demand while keeping supply the same, unless you want to make prices explode. You will just have a greater amount of dollars chasing the same number of houses. It does not magically create new housing.
I understand where you are coming from. But peaceful methods like: elections, petitions, protests, lawsuits, journalism etc. are useless. These are wonderful policies but implementing all of them requires forming an armed militant group and seizing territory by force from the commonwealth of australia. Remember how hamas defeated the whole world with simple weapons
Why not look at American home loan scheme, they have fixed interest for life of the loan, thats probably the best thing to fight for. None of this 24 month lock in periods,. That would help alot of people and get more voters on your side, in reality the numbers are not in your favour, thats probably the only thing you could do to swing more votes in your direction and gain any form of real traction. This would probably be the best move to remove you from the shadows
Sure but the reality is then people would be locked in for decades potentially at a high rate. And I looked into it a bit and it's not that common anymore to be locked in for decades.
So in other words you will drive any private landlords out of the market and there won't be any developments of housing then? I mean who is going to pay a fortune to buy an IP and have little control over it and why would a developer risk all that money and effort for the things you propose. We have family in real estate who are developers and it isn't nearly as easy, risk free and profitable as people seem to think. Lots of money tied up, mostly borrowed, until properties can start to be sold. They also had rentals and basically sold them the week after the Vic. pet laws were talked about. Other family are getting out of the private rental market and going to commercial as it's just easier. Both were good landlords. No mention either of how any of this would be paid for in any way so well done again. A real fairy story imo.
That doesn't happen though. Go watch Tom Nicols on the u.k housing and you will see it worked if not got privatisation due to Thatcher. Oh no. Did your family then have to sell Thier BMW's and holiday house too?
It's already happening though in Victoria isn't it? Look at the numbers. Like it or not if you want the private sector to provide housing then it has to be financially viable or the money goes elsewhere. I certainly wouldn't hold the UK up as any sort of example either. Jags., BMW's and Mercs. actually and these folks have worked extremely hard and taken big risks to get where they are so maybe cut the victim talk eh? They actually sold the properties at huge profits at the time which is the point.
Your policy for 30% public housing is a huge flaw. It doesn’t work. The other 70% who work hard and finally purchase something cannot live with housing. These are 2 different systems that don’t mix. The gov has already implemented this system and these buildings will become slums. Additionally social housing needs different class ratings so the bad eggs don’t mix with the good ones.
I love you policy for housing in this country
I completely agree that public or social housing needs the government to be the builder and developer. Its been done in the past. The other thing this will do is provide a training ground for building apprentices. I suspect that you could correlate the decline in trades with abolishing the Public Works Department. I'm also for a public banks, to act as a defacto banking regulator.
Also offer more job security for trained professional builders of all kinds, meaning they can more easily reach the goal of owning their own home.
I believe that the decline in trades connects to privatisation too. The apprentice's now need to work at full speed so they don't learn everything, just what's needed at the time.
@ It's almost like investing in your population rather than private enterprise makes your country more stable and imrpoves living conditions for everyone.

Sounds brilliant mate
.. excellent, maybe also include an audit & set limits to the number of investment properties anyone in government & on a tax payer salary can have.
keep up the work pingerz!
