"We should make sure that any Australian, regardless of where they're born and who they're born to, has — as far as public policy allows — equal opportunity to own the home in which they live,"

Why houses are expensive and unlikely to become much cheaper anytime soon
Australia's surging house prices are a big problem for people who don't already own one, or more. And, while most people agree something needs to be done to make housing more affordable, there's a big split about what the most effective solutions will be.

I think you need to google the definition of a slave.
Edit: I know you struggle with educating yourself so I've done it for you:
What is the definition of being a slave?
slavery, condition in which one human being was owned by another. A slave was considered by law as property, or chattel, and was deprived of most of the rights ordinarily held by free persons

I've heard many times that Asian investors are bidding up prices for housing all over the world, including Australia, for example:"We should make sure that any Australian, regardless of where they're born and who they're born to, has — as far as public policy allows — equal opportunity to own the home in which they live,"

Chinese investors warm up to buy Australian properties
Chinese investors are buying more Australian real estate as part of pent-up demand caused by the coronavirus, but experts said that other factors such as rising bilateral tensions and a drop in Australian housing value may lead some Chinese buyers to reconsider their future deals in the country.
Chinese buyers are keen on property investment in overseas markets including Australia, partially driven by the strong demand for Chinese students to study in Australia, as well as the high rates of appreciation of real estate. Sydney home prices rose 3.7 per cent in March and 6.7 per cent in the first three months of 2021, open data showed.
It's nothing to me if somebody in another country wants a home in Sydney or Vancouver Canada or Seattle WA. But this tidbit regarding money laundering in a Trump investigation has me connecting dots:
Fusion GPS interview with House panel leaves huge pile of breadcrumbs for Trump-Russia investigators
The House Intelligence Committee released the transcript of its interview with Glenn Simpson, the cofounder of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS. The transcript left a massive pile of breadcrumbs for Trump-Russia investigators to sift through as they pursue their probe into Russia's...
Simpson explained that "real estate deals" were a common Russian method of hiding and moving money. Asked whether Fusion had found "evidence" of corruption and illicit finance related to the purchase of Trump properties, Simpson replied that his firm had seen "patterns of buying and selling that we thought were suggestive of money laundering."
Another country that is rife with corruption and cronyism at the top tiers of government is China. Just connecting the dots and wondering about all those "Chinese Investors" who are buying Australian properties. The money is coming from somewhere.

Speaking of home ownership. . . . . .
The last two days I've had two Thanksgiving meals that couldn't be beat. At both of them there was an 11 year old kid who is the cousin of one of our friends. She has lived in a camper at a campground since she was 2 years old. Not sure if her dad works at the campground or if they just live there due to economic reasons. Either way, a camper gets crowded in a hurry. Imagine nine years in one.

Two words; Rupert Murdoch.Sad but true. The aussie dream is dead.
"The Great Australian Dream is different to the American dream.
I actually have no idea what the American Dream is, and none of my American friends can explain it either, no matter how erudite they may be, so I assume it’s something to do with eagles and freedom and bombing poor countries so they too can die for freedom. Or something. Americans know they have a dream, but they’re not quite sure what it is. How’s that for successful propaganda?"

This is the future of an entire class of Americans unless we figure out how to stop corporations from turning private dwellings into investment commodities.

Berliners are fighting back, too. A recent referendum made it clear that residents are tired of large landlords jacking up prices.Its a western world deal. have you seen the rental nightmare that is Berlin?

Sky News/Fox News has been hard core right wing and therefore pro corporate anything for decades and has laid the groundwork for commoditisation of private housing as well as "casual work" and other right wing causes.

With so many people homeless or becoming homeless due to the devastating floods will we see yet another uptick in rental costs across Australia?
Housing prices were just starting to come off the boil after huge increases the last two to three years, will they now come back to the boil?
Rents are becoming unaffordable for pensioners, low to middle income earners and fixed income people.
Whilst both of these are fantastic for property investors it means a real struggle for wannabe first home buyers and the avg family. And beware as interest rates must increase soon. Which could be a double whammy for those who have bought and have not factored in interest rates of 10% in the budgets.
Going to be an interesting next 5 years.
"data has revealed the median house value across Australia has exceeded $1 million for the first time in history. Buyers across the country paid an average of $1,066,133 to secure a home over the past year, according to Domain's House Price Report.26 Jan 2022"

I saw some time lapse of those floods. Man that was crazy. I've never lost a house to flooding, but Hurricane Michael gave me a glimpse of how easy it is to have your life turned upside down. I'm three and a half years in, and no where near being past it. I feel for all those folks.
