A twitter rant
Criminally overlooked and underreported comment by Premier Daniel Andrews on housing affordability in The Guardian.
The Premier's kids and their friends is a woeful sample size to use as evidence that young Aussies aren't fussed about home ownership.

It's distressing that this “evidence” is potentially steering policy objectives in our state.
I want nothing more than for my children to own their own home and I’m sure most parents would feel the same way.

In a survey conducted for SMH and The Age by research company Resolve Strategic, only 19 per cent of respondents said they had chosen not to buy a home while 45 per cent said they wanted to but were priced out of the market.
This contradicts the Premier’s false claim.

Simply making up the furphy that young people don’t want to own their own home is a very convenient way to avoid the issue and do nothing about it.
Not smart planning for the future. #springst

Instead of the Premier conceding that young people need intergenerational wealth to buy a home, why doesn’t he do something about it?
There’s a lot of options. Just to start, he could increase state taxes on future foreign purchases and set minimum affordable housing targets.
