This government's bureaucracy is a self-perpetuating malignancy. Unless we surgically debulk this government, and chemo and radiotherapy the survivors into oblivion, they're going to kill us all. They're really worse for this country than melanoma cells are for a human being.
Two words have saved the United States from doom - "You're Fired!!"
When you fail to do your job, you're out. In every advanced country. I was going to say "except Australia", but I think we no longer qualify as an advanced country. And the chance of the government giving itself cancer therapy is remote at best.
Only a Labor government could spend 30 million dollars on a house building project and not build a single house! I can see them celebrating their achievement now...spending another 100K on a function to recognise their amazing contribution to solving this very significant problem. I wonder how many meetings they have attended about house building without ever building a single house...legends in their own lunchboxes!! Give 30 million to the private sector and see how many houses they can build in the same time frame...once again, our government forgets that it is OUR money they are spending...and it is supposed to be for OUR benefit. They are not supposed to waste our money on consultant roles and meetings for their friends! We need a solution to the housing crisis...that actually builds some houses!! If you clowns can't build a house, find someone who can.
Neither of my Grand dads were labor men ,The both passed away when I was seven but they both agreed that labor was soft on crime and couldnt handle money.
The media has a great deal to answer for. Why has Giles still got a job? And Bowen? Burke? Burney? Gallagher? Wong? Train wrecks each one and yet they’re still smugly and snuggly there!
Don't forget about all the Yoga teachers and dog walkers we're fast tracking getting into the country presumably to look after the needs of the bureaucrats and consultants running Housing Australia
Back in the mid 60s when I was an apprentice electrician my boss, a small contractor, quoted to wire 20 budget houses in Kingswood NSW . The quote was 3phase mains and water heater ,two phase stove 10 lights 8 power points finished price 67 pound 15 shillings . House painted and floors sanded was for outside toilet 3000 pound and inside toilet 3500 pound ,on unsealed road and not curbed and guttered , The lot sold before half of these houses were even built . Electricity was CHEAP and I think the standard tradesmans wage was about 25 quid a week. Try that today. They certainly were not McMansions but were 10 square solid 3 bed family homes that happily housed those families for years. and probably paid for in 10 years.
Those days are over. Nimby's , State Govt charges and councils working at glacier speed have killed that world, and now we have Albanese who has probably not even built a house out of lego blocks planning pie in the sky mega building projects
A friend of mine recently bought a "transportable "house to his specification ,the build took about 4 months foundations drainage ,power water etc all finished and onl;y waiting for one signature for the builder, contractors,to be paid . 4 months and no action as yet . One bloody signature needed . (woman responsible is still on holidays ) Local government ? it is no wonder builders are going broke everywhere .
The Soviet bureaucrats would be more likely looking on wondering why they didn’t think of it first. This is a case of Government calling mind over matter, we don’t mind and you don’t matter. They are utter criminals and i keep wondering why and how they are still there! Talk about The Swamp!
Haha James, you have such an entertaining way of framing & telling a story!!
This government of ours is useless, pathetic, immoral, incompetent & arrogant. Apart from that they’re doing a good job 🤦♂️

Your granddaddy might have had a reason to vote for labor, but if you do you’re a traitor to Australia.

The emperor is still wearing no clothes.
But, while we're waiting and waiting for all these new houses, set up tent cities just to get the homeless off the streets.
AH but the new immigrants will have somewhere to live no doubt, but at taxpayers expense .
Then let them bring their own tents along.
They would have to pitch them next to a sewage farm ---make them feel at home .
Worthless useless corrupt dishonest immoral criminals. Totally inept and they get away with it. There are fools who’ll still vote labor!

Amazing breadth of knowledge in this article ….
Brilliantly put James.

Yes no surprise even experienced builders are going out of business.
I'm sure after a few months on the Yoga Mats touching their belly buttons with their earlobes, most builders will be wanting to get going again

I was speaking with an accountant today. He sad he never reads about politics, simply because he gets too angry at the Monet these numpties waste…
Utopia show looks better than real life 😂🤣😢
Utopia has their script written (for many seasons to come). At least we can laugh at a TV show 😂🥹
That’s Money. Not Monet. Now there’s an idea…. 😁
Absolutely hopeless.
They are completely useless.
