Gone are the days when a ‘good job’ gets you a house – and now we have the data to prove it theguardian.com/business/grogo?

Every economic modeling shows that it is now impossible to save enough to purchase a house. Clearly something needs to be done to address the broken housing system. And although we are months away from a federal election, neither of the major parties have announced anything remotely effective to address the issue of #Housingaffordability

#GregJericho does an effective job at showing the impossibility of saving enough for a deposit. Seems like the only peeps who can afford to purchase a house these days are poliies, real estate investors (a very successful one being #Dutton also a pollie) and the top 10% of Australian society. Clearly should be an election issue but from our pollies… crickets….

seriously wtf some people with money seem inordinately proud of their ignorance — especially about things that don’t affect them personally (unless they have internalised some hateful cow-plop from other treacle-beaks)

<<On top of that, since 1984 Australia has had a Sex Discrimination Act, the latest iteration of which makes it an offence to discriminate against a person on the grounds of gender identity or intersex status, making it clear that these are protected attributes under the law.>>
