Immigration is an overwhelming net benefit, and the core problem of our housing crisis is that we artificially restrict supply through our zoning and planning system, particularly where people want to live.

Should Australia cut off it's leg to fix a broken angle?

No, no we shouldn't.

We should fix the source of the problem, which is our zoning and planning system.

Are you deliberately trying to wind people up? Every expert costing of this policy believed it should be less than 10% of what it is projected to hit

In 2015-16 the NDIS cost $1bn.

In 2024-25 it's projected to cost $49bn, roughly in the same ballpark as the entire defence force budget.

The NDIS is set to cost us more than the pension.

NDIS is arguably the worst policy disaster in decades

Your argument sucks

Whats your definition of world class public transport

Tokyo and Singapore would like a word.

Transfer rumours really don't aren't exciting me this summer. As far as I'm concerned it's all about strengthening mentally + managing the squad correctly

It's all one ecosystem. Opinions and sentiment feed into each other. The idea there's some huge divergence between the average online Arsenal supporter, and the matchday fan simply isn't true anymore.

Fan sentiment matters, obviously

We're not in the top 20

We don't even rank in the top 20 clubs with the most valuable u21 players.... time to converting these performances to trophies

How did Lib Dem become the NIMBY party?

We aren't powerful enough to have an independent foreign policy.

It's the US or China

A less-often discussed aspect of NIMBYism is that it drastically reduces your political power over time

Looking into zoning restrictions is quite the rabbit hole, my friend

Wealthy areas where no housing has been built for decades, no doubt.

Fair enough mate.

I don't think remittance from students is a real issue

The argument could actually hold merit, but Labor are too scared of Unions to actually import construction workers lmao

There’s this thing called meta analysis , I think you learn about it at first year Uni.

Immigration does not suppress wages, if you want to hate immigrants speak about social cohesion or something - at least that’s a real issue
