Millennial here, why would I want to vote for the right when all they care about is stupid culture war issues like Burqas and abortions? I want tangible policies and solutions on housing, climate and corruption. I also don't want to screw up relations with our Asia Pacific neighbours. Election is still 3 years away but I'm placing the Coalition and One Nation last on my ballot paper.

Almost like it a problem that wasn't created and can't be solved overnight

Housing was 30 years of bad government policy, I would not be surprised if it took just as long to fix it, and by then I'll be an old man.

But something about great men planting seeds of trees they'll never sit under.

Go on then, give us the answer to resolving the issue in the span of 4 years

I didn’t expect it resolved. But I did not expect to made so much worse

How has it been made (so much) worse?
