Some people I know who supported the protests do so because they’re upset at the upcoming spare bedroom tax, which aims to bring more homes on the market to lower prices. They don’t care about housing people, they care about profit.
I’m also not convinced cutting immigration would help at all when it would only discourage construction, which is already below what’s needed to support birthrate + people moving in from rural areas. Immigration isn’t the cause of the crisis, so cutting it isn’t the solution.

Bullshit
None of those were mentioned once at the protests. Instead you had a literal neonaxi speaker (sewell), signs screaming about silent invasions, “Go Home”, sovcit bullshit and general twattery.
There’s a lot to be angry about. But prancing around shouting random crap with a right wing fist up your arse like a demented puppet is not the fucking answer.

You mean the plants from the government? Funny how the MSM didn’t show footage of all the people at the protest booing the glowies. Funny how the MSM didn’t show the violence committed by the Pro-mass-immigration protesters. You can swallow the MSM narrative with your full throat if you want, but it’s not gonna solve the problem or change the facts-on-the-ground. House prices will continue to rise, locking future generations out of the market and dooming them to being “forever renters” a.k.a. surfs. Our infrastructure and services will be stretched thinner and thinner until they break. But hey, at least the wealthy elites bank accounts got larger! Never mind that working Aussies are being made homeless!
Go ahead and call me whatever you like, people like you have been calling anyone with a different opinion *ists and *phobes for so long, it no longer holds any meaning.
