Rational Aussie @rationalaussie Hawk Tuah recently went viral for her rant on the Australian housing crisis: "It's all a fat scam. The government imports more and more immigrants as a way to increase tax revenue whilst claiming the economy is 'growing'. Meanwhile, on a per capita basis the country is going backwards, fast. Rent prices are out of control, and owning a home is now a pipe dream for those without rich parents. Chinese citizens come into the country and dump all their dirty money in Australia's property, and the government lets them because they benefit from it - they own all the real estate. It's a legitimate Ponzi scheme." • 7:04 AM · Sep 21, 2024 91.6K Views 1070
