The four things (mostly) missing from the major parties housing platforms

The housing crisis continues to grip Australia and it’s a central part of this election campaign. Unfortunately, while both major parties have made housing policies key parts of their election platforms their policies mostly tinker around the edges and fail in four key ways.

1. They do not address Australia’s distortionary, expensive, and regressive tax concessions
2. Almost all the policies they have announced would pump up demand, which will only increase house prices
3. There’s some talk about public housing and developers, but not enough
4. Migrants are not to blame for soaring house prices
