I’d prefer they use the funding to build houses or raise jobseeker tbh…
They won’t do that either lol
Did somebody say nuclear subs? I don’t care I love it starts playing
But does housing inspire the youth of Australia?
In seriousness, yes housing seems to be the better option.
But does housing inspire the youth of Australia
Not at the moment it doesn’t lol
Or, hear me out, how about instead we take the money they need out of the huge federal budget for men’s sports?
$44m over their term is about 15 houses per year. Considering they plan to bring in 400,000 new migrants per year, I’m not sure defunding women’s sports to build 15 houses is really going to make much of a dent in the housing market.
So … 3 million per house?
It’s a 3 year term. $1m per house.
Even if you turn them into townhouses at half that price, 30 houses Vs 400,000 new people doesn’t really shift the needle.
Encourage young footballers and ship them off early to Europe to play (preferably England so they’re guaranteed English language skills). But many go into international skills in non english speaking countries and you can’t tell the difference.
And then hope they play for Australia. There’s no way we’ll ever match them in investment so might as well leverage their resources to train our players.
