    Great presentation. I applaud your stance against this mirage of a scheme. Public housing needs to be built now and built in large numbers. I haven't seen a journalist or politician put pressure on the advocates of affordable housing to put a price on what is affordable. Is it $1.2 million in Sydney, $1.1 million in Melbourne, $900k on the Sunshine Coast, $850k in Bathurst or Goulburn? If thats whats considered affordable our youth and our society is doomed to rental poverty. How will our economy look then? What savings will we have to fall back on during the next market crisis? How will the perennial winger, Harvey Norman cope when his sales drop since we cannot afford to buy his tat? The Median Australian Wage needs to be quoted as often as possible and used instead of the average, as with median savings, median house price and median rental price too. The mean or average of these indices have been distorted from the extremely wealthy income earners pushing this statistic way higher than it's ever been.

  • @adamotoole

    Well explained! Another idea which is well established and working in Norway, is to allow home owners to receive tax free income from building and renting out a granny flat or a self contained unit attached to their house. The extra income significantly improves borrowing capacity, and at the same time provides much needed and affordable rental accommodation to singles and couples. In Norway, most new homes are designed and built with a 1 or 2 bedroom self contained unit attached to take advantage of this policy. And it works really well.

    • @zen1647

      Yes, but this is really a band-aid solution to a greater inherent problem. Too many subsidies for investors, too many consumers competing for so little supply, too much entitled greed in the system etc. Granny flats when the governments and councils should be building public housing in the form of townhouses, terraces and low rise but functional community blocks. Oh and buying back the caravan parks they sold off to private interests. Back in the day anyone struggling could always get a site in the local caravan park.....it was truely affordable.

    Just one important observation. Your single example is for people buying a $900,000+ house in Sydney. There are people who don't live in Sydney so demonizing the entire scheme based on Sydney house prices is a little disingenuous.
    A rent to buy scheme on a much larger scale is probably worth looking into but the real issue is building enough affordable housing because until house prices come down there is no scheme that can really work.
    None of the political parties currently has an affordable housing scheme that's large enough to make a substantial difference. What we need is public works the scale and intent that Australia implemented after world war 2. And it has to include training people in the construction industry on a massive scale too.
    There is no small scheme that will get the job done.

      You get rid of those tax incentives while supply is as low as it is and rents will go through the roof, offsetting loses to income artificially keeps rents lower than they could be, by keep supply that we have in the market. You remove those incentives as the greens are suggesting will pull more rental properties off the market and what supply remains will be positively geared meaning they’ll raise rents further because demand will still far outstrip supply. How do you not get this? The greens policy is purely populism designed for stupid people who don’t think for 2 seconds that actually make the existing problems worse.

    I am a strong greens voter but some of this is disingenuous.
    "0.2% of renters" assumes that 99.8% of renters want to buy a home every year. There are many people that are renting by choice and because of where they are in their lives. Do rental standards need to be improved? absolutely! Do rents need to be frozen and then capped to CPI? yes! But there's not millions of renters looking to buy a house every year.
    The calculations you use for Sydney's property market don't account for unit prices. A lot of people buying their first home in a major metro area - Melbourne and Sydney in particular - will be buying units. But, the $120,000 income limit for a couple is definitely too low.
    This policy is putting a bandaid over a flesh wound but it's not actively harmful like you're portraying and will be of benefit for some renters.
