Billionaires Battle for Backyard: Aussie Govt Plays Mortgage Babysitter

Albanese lamented, 'Australia is becoming a ridiculous nation where the taxpayer is underwriting mortgage insurance schemes for extremely wealthy people.' Meanwhile, the PM looks forward to comparing notes with Trump as 'summit season' arrives. Because nothing screams productive housing policy like letting billionaires crash the government party while birds over housing lots from 1971 apparently still cast vetoes.
