The housing crisis isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.
Australia’s housing market has been hijacked — turned into a slow-motion wealth transfer that punishes renters and first home buyers while rewarding investors, landlords, and the politicians who protect them. In this West Report, Josh breaks down how decades of tax policy, political cowardice, and media spin turned homes into tax shelters, not shelter.
We look at the real causes of the crisis — negative gearing, capital gains discounts, supply failure, and land hoarding — and ask why neither major party will touch them. Spoiler: they’re all in on it.
From “housing Hunger Games” to face-eating leopards running the economy, this isn’t just unaffordable — it’s unsustainable.
