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….

The Guardian · Gone are the days when a ‘good job’ gets you a house – and now we have the data to prove itBy Greg Jericho

"Time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have water lapping at your door."
~ Peter #Dutton joking with Scott Morrison and Tony Abbot about rising sea levels in Pacific Island nations in September 2015.

Here is the proof that #Dutton is a complete ignoramus. He says, and I quote from the Guardian article:

“The opposition leader praised Zelenskyy as a “modern-day hero”, and cautioned that Europe “can’t continue to rely for financial support or military support from the United States”. Source: theguardian.com/australia-news

What a tosser. Given that the relationship between the #UK and the #US is arguably the staunchest of alliances and having made the statement above, what possible reason could Dutton have for thinking that Australia could continue to rely on US support should (heavens forbid) we ever be in need of it?

Dutton just doesn’t make any logical sense. Unless, wait… is he, Dutton, thinking about joining the Union as its #51stState if he gets into office? Nah… impossible.. highly unlikely… he’s no Einstein, but nah, he wouldn’t even think of it… would he?

The Guardian · Peter Dutton says he will ‘lobby’ Donald Trump to change view on Ukraine if Coalition wins electionBy Josh Butler

The #US is a #directthreat to Western nations in its determination to #dictate other countries’ #domestic #policies & #undermine their #security by sacrificing their interests to thugs like #Putin. The world has changed, radically and in ways unknown since the 1940s. But #Albanese & #Dutton aren’t reacting. They’re like deer in the headlights of history.
