Fair call, although I’d argue that when we’re in as big a budget deficit as we are that it does end up usually being a case of one or the other. Still, to be fair, the voice is a better use of that money than say something like the submarine deal.
And in fairness to the government though, it’s hardly as though the ‘no-alition’ is any better especially given their policies have largely been the cause of this situation.
As far as the Housing Australia Fund goes, it’s an OK start but still very underwhelming in the grand scheme of things given the seriousness of this crisis.
