HOUSING TRACKER #4
We’ve got governments promising to build 1.2 million homes with just $27K per house, but nobody checked if there’s sewerage, water, power, or even flood-free land to build on. No one knows what’s actually available. No one’s in charge. And no one’s accountable.

Infrastructure hookup costs $50K–$70K.
The house? Another $500K.
The dirt? $400K, if you’re lucky.
What do the leaders offer? A combined $37,000 per home.

Securing Australia's Strategic Independence in the Post-AUKUS Era
Australia is buying submarines it may never control, relying on allies who might not deliver, under a deal with no published strategy, no operational plan, and no sovereignty guarantees.

Australian opposition leader Peter Dutton has recently accused the Labor Party of failing to address alleged criminal links within the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining, and Energy Union (CFMEU).

This raises a key question: are those making these accusations themselves free from scrutiny, or are they living in a glass house?
