‘Minimal help, maximum hype’: Single parents housing package criticised for helping only a ‘handful’

“We are very pleased that the family home guarantee will help single parents - of which 80 per cent are women - to purchase their home.”

Deloitte Access Economics director Chris Richardson said the policy was ”a useful measure to help a group that needs help in a hot housing market but it’s not make or break for the wider housing market”.“Governments can’t solve this [rapidly rising house prices] and Australians are kidding themselves if they think can,” he said. “House prices are driven by interest rates and interest rates need to be nailed to the floor for years to come to drive unemployment down.

But she said the announcement should be seen in the context of “what the government has done already to hit the economic security of single parents, mostly women, particularly those on low incomes”

Yeah it's only single parents that can't afford housing 🤦

Very simple solution, don't breed children you can't look after

What’s causing the ‘mental health crisis’ if it isn’t things getting harder for too many people? Meanwhile the rich get richer . Jobs jobs jobs or housing, housing, housing

Where in the hell is a single mother going to get a $20,000 deposit to buy a place in Sydney when they are lucky to live from week to week. This looks totally like the LNP have no idea of the real Australia and what is going on with its people.

Scamo is tragically trying to Make Australia Great Again.

Nope it is yet another out of the real world fail by the LNP. Where in the hell is a single mother going to get anywhere near $20,000 to buy a place in Sydney.

Why would this govt do anything to those who would never vote for them. This is blatant buying of potential swinging voters (employed people with regular income) with tax payers money again!
