The LNP … its Culture …

THE LNP

IS it the philosophy that lies at the core of its insidious culture …?

“We are on your side. If you have a go in this country you’ll get a go. That’s what fairness in Australia means.”

And how the Liable Nasty Party achieves this ‘for some’ is through PORKBARRELLING to ensure they win ‘those Coalition or Marginal Seats’

And granting far more to Private Schools!

As revealed in this Report! ‘Privilege over policy’.

Over the decade, private school funding up by $2,164 per student, adjusted for inflation, compared to $334 per student for public schools. Both states and Feds responsible’

And that is how ‘you get a go’ over others who too want a go!

IS it Sc.mmo’s belief that it is only the property and mining sectors that allegedly keep our economy strong?

Before entering politics SM wrote the policy for the developer lobby, The Property Council of Australia … did that lead to his annointment? You think?

‘The single biggest property donor last year (2020) was Sugolena, a private company set up by Isaac and Susan Wakil, who came to Sydney after World War II and assembled a portfolio of empty buildings across the city.

The couple sold their properties in 2014 to raise $200 million for a charitable foundation. While Sugolena had no history of substantial donations, the company, led by Mr Wakil after the death of his wife three years ago, gave $4.1 million to the Liberal Party in the weeks before and after the May 2019 federal election.

‘Competitive advantage’: Call for curbs as property sector ramps up political donations

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/competitive-advantage-call-for-curbs-as-property-sector-ramps-up-political-donations-20210126-p56wva.html

Has this sector played a role in ensuring that 100% of ‘new homes’ could be sold to foreign buyers … to create a World-wide market particularly in China for Australian homes? (FIRB Ruling)

And hence the high-rise tower precincts now on every horizon across Sydney … the congestion on our roads … our trains, buses and schools all full-up!

IS that how ‘you get a go’ over others who too want a go?

2021 … The Australian Housing Market is Exploding

2020 … there was a lull with Covid and the withdrawal of buyers from China now replaced by an accelerant …

‘ … The accelerant for this fire is being splashed by other arsonists – the government and the Reserve Bank, with miniature interest rates, grants, negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount.’

Alan Kohler: The housing market is exploding again

NOW … there’s more …

WITH First Home Buyers and investors taking on large mortgages at record low rates … but for how long?

AND a housing shortage has led to this price explosion!

IS it Sc.mmo’s belief that it is only the property and mining sectors that allegedly keep our economy strong?

THAT despite the advice of Economists that lifting wages, lifting JobSeeker above the poverty line would ensure more money would flow and boost our economy … the Liable Nasty Party persists with the lowest wages growth for some 60 years … has allowed temporary migration on these low wages (cash in hand) with the lure of ‘Permanent Residency’ ensuring high unemployment for Australians esp. our Youth

By selling off our Public Assets to the ‘Mates’ … and privatising Services

A mean and tricky grubment …

The Liable Nasty Party promised to deliver 4 Million Covid Vaccines by the end of March 2021 … yet only some 700,000 have been vaccinated so far … how safe is that?

Half a McMansion on a Half Lot drew Hundreds to its Auction

May be an image of one or more people, people standing, tree and outdoors
AUCTION DAY … with hundreds of Hopefuls over the duration of the Campaign … now almost all homes are sold by Auction … are Buyers being ‘set up’? When there can only be one successful buyer!

THE CAMPAIGN … the First Inspection led to hundreds lining up in the street … and the Open Home went on for an hour or more!

THE HALF MCMANSION … not new but some 30 years old … beautifully kept … cherished ….

THE GUIDE was initially very low … $1.1M … $1.2M, and attracted … no doubt … hundreds of Hopefuls!

OVER the weeks that followed … The Guide crept up by another $100,000 … then $300,000 … $400,000 …

BUT still more than 100 Hopefuls turned up for the auction of ‘Half a McMansion’ on a half lot!  A duplex!

The opening bid from a buyer was for $1.4M  … did he believe that this was the way to cut through? Or could this bid have been arranged … despite fair trading?

The bids then quickly rose between three … then down to two Bidders … as the Hopefuls with their little children stood by in stunned silence …

THE AUCTIONEER whipped the pair into a frenzy …

SOLD at almost $1.8M!

THE CONDUCT ... is cruel … it works against ‘the Hopefuls’ … for the most essential need of ‘A Home’ … with ‘no Set Price,’ but a mere Guide!

Unlike a fridge, a washing machine, a pair of shoes even a pie they all have a set price …

Looks like it is weighted against all ‘the Hopefuls’ …

AUSTRALIA needs not only some 173,000 affordable homes for those on low incomes … it needs AFFORDABLE HOMES for all Australians!

TIME to rectify this … more than 100 People were turned away from this one auction … having spent $thousands on Building Reports, Conveyance Contract checks, time and energy lost for yet more months … years ahead searching for a nest!

HOW Good’s this, Sc.mmo?

AUSTRALIANS have rejected the high-rise Towers that can fall down! 

With the inflammable cladding … that cost from $180,000 to $200,000 a unit to build, and sold from $600,000 … $1M or more … for …

BUILT by the Spivs …  who describe themselves as the ‘Concrete Kings’  … who have a lavish lifestyle … Lamborghinis … Rollers et al …

AUSTRALIA currently cannot and does not HOUSE its own … therefore how can it justify any more migration … through VISA Manipulation? … AUSTRALIA must HOUSE its own … and STOP this pernicious Ponzi Scheme!

May be an image of 1 person, standing and outdoors
THE DEJECTION … Within minutes the ‘Hopefuls’ quickly dispersed many with little Children … How can this be described as a ‘Fair Go’?

P.S. In late November 2020 a neighbouring like Half McMansion sold for $1.39M … an indicator of an inflated marketwith a $400,000 price hike!

The Sc.mmo Govt silently in late 2020 Ranked Visas for UHNW Foreigners

The Morrison government quietly began prioritising Visas for ultra-wealthy foreign investors late last year

CURRENTLY we are being distracted by ‘The Boy in the Bubble’

AND on Women marching for Justice … we heard:

“Mr Speaker, not far from here, such marches, even now, are being met with bullets, but not here in this country, Mr Speaker.”

ARE we in Toad territory?

ARE you aware that this government favours Ultra High Net Worth foreigners flush with cash over all others?

Apparently the Sc.mmo government quietly began prioritising VISAS for UHNW foreign buyers in late 2020!

• to prioritise investor visas over those of foreign workers in critical sectors during the pandemic

Allegedly to inject these foreign funds into our economy

-increased the cap on investor visas with approval times slashed

-with an influx of foreign property buyers

-then Immigration Minister Alan Tudge directed Home Affairs to prioritise investor visas; those with $5M to invest conferred top status; to fast track to Permanent Residency

-Home Affairs employees instructed to secondarily assess those with $1.5M or more along with Business Innovation and Investment Program Visas (BIIP)

pandemic 408 Visas to maintain personnel e.g. in healthcare are secondary to investment

government doubled annual cap for investor visas from 6,800 to 13,500

MEANWHILE40,000 AUSTRALIANS REMAIN STRANDED OVERSEAS!

Juwai IQI reported in 2019-20 more than 1500 applicants; China and Hong Kong 88.5% of Significant Investor Visas

-despite the talk of innovation and business investment it is the Australian property market that draws foreign attention

REMEMBER … Sc.mmo wrote the policy for the developer lobby, The Property Council of Australia prior to entering politics

-in the rising market these foreign investors are gaining residency; many coming all at once with PR Visas granted in record time!

-without the PR Visa these foreigners have to pay stamp duty; get FIRB approval; for properties of $6 – 8M equates to $500,000 in fees

Sc.mmo Govt Slammed over Plan to Import Workers!

Labor senator Kristina Keneally says the government is putting skilled migrants before local workers. Photo: AAP

‘KRISTINA KENEALLY slams ‘laughable’ government plan to bring in more skilled migrants’

THEN this extraordinary statement from Lib MP, Julian Leeser …

“Skilled migrants make jobs for Australian workers. …

… Even with the unemployment figures coming down, employers have told us there are significant numbers of job vacancies they cannot fill because of the skills shortage.”

PRIOR to the Pandemic UNEMPLOYMENT was at 20% … including the UNDEREMPLOYED …

… those seeking a second, third job to get the hours of work necessary to survive

YET Unemployment is alleged to have dropped now to 5.8% … hm

THIS IS HOW A CAAN COMMENTATOR SUMS UP TEMP VISA MIGRATION …

‘We should only entertain *Permanent Migration* and ditch *temporary migration* completely … it has made us a very lazy nation … and we should bury that wretched, FLAWED!!!!...STUDENT visa scam that leads to permanent residency, which only looks after our dodgy University elites and a whole host of other educational degradation.

It creates a myriad of catastrophes from increasing real estate prices locking our own out of a home, and of course our mobility to get around on the roads!!! …. not being able to move around freely anymore, we are basically suffocating.

… We need deaths (natural deaths) to help the country catch up … and recover.

Once we recover and we are able to get our infrastructure in order so we can move around freely again … we can then revert back to permanent migration.

This temporary migration business is crook. Crook for everything …. that’s how I see it. Some would disagree.

I say, technology aside and its influence, wages, housing affordability, ease of travel, utility costs and general cost of living …..

… LOOK at years gone by and compare our living standards to now.

The population schemers have dealt us a big blow!’

SYDNEY Building Mates have they Stitched Up Buyer?

DECODE … to remove or reverse standards it would seem?

‘The Great Australian Nightmare’ … after squirrelling away her pay cheques the lady put down a 10 percent deposit on an off-the-plan unit in the $52 million Peony Place development at Kellyville …

To discover the defects and demanded they be fixed or her deposit be refunded … the developer claimed the building was ticked off by a private certifier and would not budge!

-the private certifier was formerly part of Dix Gardner Group; which has had two certifiers banned

The developer, SHANGHAI-based BOILL Holding Group, enlisted local builder DECODE … it may be a good idea to note this and look out for other projects across Sydney … including the Lower North Shore!

A pre-settlement inspection revealed:

-the building did not comply with either the National Construction Code or Australian Standards

-the fire evacuation path and parking space did not meet minimum size requirements

-and there was insufficient drainage

OUGHT there not be immediate intervention by regulators when a Council confirms ‘considerable non-compliances’? 

WHY should home buyers be subjected to taking mounting legal action at their own expense?

‘Move to More’ Regions Marketing for more Homeless!

APART from Millennials rush to the bush to find affordable housing

SCOMO GOVT with No Fair Go for HOUSING … did they create the FOMO?  Through low interest rates … many borrow a lot more … and an influx of investors …. pushing up house priceseven more!

With demand greater than supply …

The Feds now have another campaign run by the Regional Australia Institute (the RAI) to entice City people to move to the Regions … where housing is already unaffordable for many to now jack it up more!

HOMELESSNESS is increasing in the mainland regions and in Tasmania …

IT’S so bad in Byron that Deputy Mayor Michael Lyon lodged a motion for the next Council meeting on 25 March about the ‘Housing Crisis’!!  He is seeking support from other councils for the State Government to address this!

Byron Bay, one of NSW’s 11 “most searched” regions on the ‘Move to More’ website where the median house price rose 37% last year!

-some regions have a rental vacancy rate of 1.5% , 1%, or less!

DO our pollies think things through?  With city people earning higher incomes to price country people out of their homes!

HOW GOOD’S THAT?

RB Governor invites ScoMo to pick up the Tools to stop soaring House Prices

Philip Lowe looks at the camera, with a blurred podium in background.
RBA governor Philip Lowe says the board is keeping a close eye on the booming housing market.(ABC News: John Gunn)

The time is nigh, we suggest Mr Lowe, regulators need to step in to deflate it!

It’s apparent there can only be one buyer, and with hundreds of buyers now attending each Open Home inspection … and not one or two buyers bidding at auctions, but 8 or 10 from the large crowd … that there can only be one to succeed … we have a shortage of the homes Australians want, and can afford to buy!

Vendors soon become priced out too!  

Migration and visa manipulation will only exacerbate this crisis! 

Whose interests are Sc.Mo and the NSW Princess serving?

Mr Lowe has laid it at the feet of Sc.Mo … that it was up to governments and financial regulators to address soaring housing costs. 

THE TOOLS, he said, to address this include GOVERNMENT POLICY CHANGES by reducing the favourable tax treatment of housing (for some) or so-called macroprudential policies.

In Sydney … low interest rates have driven up House Prices …

Record-low interest rates have enabled buyers to borrow more, driving up competition and prices, and leaving them with less. Photo: Peter Rae

Are the Banks laughing?  Awash with cash …

Are the Banks happy to lend to those that overextend? 

Would they be happy to foreclose on a property?  To resell?  Cough … cough

…  The Reserve Bank will keep rates low for the next 3 years … even if house prices continue to soar (more)!

So buyers borrow more … with large crowds at open homes and auctions … as more bid the price hikes!

AND there can be but one buyer! 

What is the future for those turned away? Life-long tenancy?

The Reserve Bank focus is the economy; the Governor repeatedly has raised the issue of low wages growth with the PM …

Why not a clamp down on property investors? Or is the PM’s attention elsewhere?   Meanwhile … queues for Open Homes line the street … extending from 30 minutes to an hour.

Auctions are now between 8 to 10 bidders  …

Who else is behind this?  Scomo wrote the policy for the developer lobby, the Property Council of Australia before entering politics …  How good’s that?
