      Only 8 ??? Wtf is the land being used for let me guess either people are still hoarding vast quantities of land waiting for the prices to go up again or vulture funds keep snapping up housing estates and land for sale

    So to confirm, as a single person I will continue to not be able to ever afford a home unless I somehow get a 400% pay rise ....cheers lads and ladies keep up the great work. If this was a privately owned business with targets and annual margins to deliver on a vast majority would either get the finger out or be sacked

    As an opposition leader its her job to point out Government failures, the same as he did when he was opposition leader.
