I'll be voting all minor parties across the board with the major parties right at the bottom. If the major parties want people to vote for them, they should try listening to the people and fixing the housing crisis and cost-of-living crisis.

Remove negative gearing, remove capital gains tax concessions, implement net-zero immigration, outlaw AirBnB, make foreign investment into residential property illegal, introduce a vacancy tax, punish developers who conduct "land-banking" and invest in TAFE to train the people we need locally.

This is pretty radical economic policy.

Is there any research supporting all of this or just the vibe?

Labor ran on negative gearing reform and we got morisson.
