Some property up over 35% in one year thanks to Albo's mass immigration policies:

Get in while it's cheap: The suburbs where surging demand triggered a house-price boom

Daniel Butkovich, Property Journalist

Updated 22 Jan 2025, 9:32am

First published 21 Jan 2025, 4:07pm

Bargain-hunting buyers have flocked to the nation’s housing hotspots, where skyrocketing demand for affordable homes has caused property prices to explode.

New data from PropTrack has revealed the suburbs where property values jumped most in 2024, with waves of buyers snapping up homes in Australia’s cheapest suburbs – in turn lighting a rocket under house prices in those areas.

Despite much-anticipated interest rate cuts failing to materialise last year, plenty of value-seeking buyers were still out in force in 2024, especially in suburbs where homes could be purchased for less than $500,000.

Many of those affordable suburbs recorded some of the highest price growth last year, suggesting this year's crop of cheap suburbs could follow suit.

Ungrateful?

My ancestors here came from Ireland, Scotland, points North of Scotland, a few other bits thrown in .. and some were Jewish Germans......

They came here to escape the piss poor governments of their day who - in plain English argot - treated them abysmally and as nothing more than serfs to be dictated to.

Now the same thing is happening here in the country they escaped to, and in which they built homes and families and so forth.... now they must all be turning over in their graves looking at what is being done to their descendants.

As a grandfather - I see little to no prospect of my grand-children owning a home, given that people in my age group who I know and discuss these things with, have children who will never own a home unless they inherit it. How then will their children in turn own a home of their own with all this parasitism?

This is because our 'governments' are dictating to We The People who will and will not come here and in what numbers... and without a single word of asking for our permission to destroy our nation, culture, future, economy and everything else.

If you don't stand now - you never will again have the chance. Some say already that the turnover point has been reached for Europe acting under the same stupidity from its governments... after which all that has been wrought generations over centuries will be no more, and the entire group of countries will lapse into a form of feudalism again... Shocked

Time to take back the farm. Vote them all out.

silly nonsense

One-third of those applying to become Australian citizens fail the citizenship test: only 187,574 of the 288,603 who took the test between June 2022 and August 2023.) This amount of flunking should be ringing bells about the quality of Australia’s would-be citizen-immigrants.

The test can be retaken three times before failure may be finally declared. Despite the soft-ball format of multiple choice (pure chance alone would see around seven of the twenty questions answered correctly, about one-half of the required number for getting citizenship), and despite an online practice test and a citizenship booklet (Our Common Bond) which handily has all the likely questions and correct answers embedded in it, one in three intending citizens are still bombing the exam, a stunningly high failure rate.

How to explain the high failure rate? It’s not as if the test is particularly demanding or designed to trap applicants with tricky or arcane questions that even most existing native-born Australians would not know (contrary to the ‘progressive’ mockery of the concept of ‘Australian values’, there are no questions about Don Bradman’s batting average, for example). Taking a look at the current practice test on the Home Affairs website — if the answers aren’t self-explanatory or easily memorised by studying a booklet, then just what sort of citizens are the failures likely to make? Lazy, entitled and at odds with civilised, Western values, that’s what.

How tough, for example, are the following questions (remembering that the answer to every possible question is in the booklet)?

“On Anzac Day, we remember (a) all Australians who have fought and died in wars, (b) the creation of an independent Australian nation, (c) the arrival of the First Fleet from Great Britain”.

Whatever one’s attitude to Anzac Day, it is a rather central day in the Australian national calendar and intending citizens should be aware of its origin.

“Which is correct in Australian law? (a) men and women have equal rights, (b) men have more rights than women, (c) women have more rights than men”.

If our aspirant citizens are getting this one wrong, are they the sort of people we want in an egalitarian Australia?

“When did the separate colonies join together to become the Australian nation? (a) 1601, (b) 1901, (c) 2001”.

Hard to get such basic history wrong with such a wide margin for error.

“What is Australia’s capital city? (a). Brisbane, (b) Canberra, (c) Perth”.
Fruit for the sideboard, you might think.

“In Australia, the parliament (a) makes and changes the law, (b) is chosen by the Prime Minister, (c) is controlled by judges”.

Any conservatives should resist the temptation to think ‘stymied by judges’, more likely, particularly where illegal immigrants in detention are concerned.

“In Australia, the government (a) tells people which religion to follow, (b) is separate from any religion, (c) makes laws based on the official religion”.

Could Australia be having an issue with the more excitable religionists of a particular faith whose practitioners we have let in willy nilly?

“In Australia, the use of violence against a person is (a) acceptable if they are a different religion, (b) acceptable if they have a different opinion, (c) never acceptable and it is against the law”.

A bit of a Dorothy Dixer, quiz-wise, but devout followers of a certain Prophet might not get it.

It's insane to allow millions of people here when there is no housing for them.
It also puts pressure on: hospitals, schools roads and all infrastructure.

We now have as many as a dozen people living in one bedroom flats in many cases.

Aussies are living on the street and in cars and under bridges because they
can't afford the enormous price of rent.

It's because of idiots like you promoting even more immigration -
millions more to be here within a few years - thanks Albo and all your socialist mates
for ruining Australia.

Bollocks, Bbwian.

The skilled migration system is rorted and is pretty stupid anyway.
Family reunion is as great a proportion as the joke skilled system.

The student visa system is a total rort. The Indian qualification recognition is a scandalous rort.

Citizenship is given out far too easily.

Not even criminals can be deported. Everyone can appeal immigration decisions at taxpayer expense.

Unassimilated third worlders are everywhere in huge numbers. Look at school graduation photos. Thirty years ago there was a smattering of tinted or Chinese faces. Now there is only a smattering of Australian faces.

The test questions include such out-and-out woke signifiers as “What are the colours of the Australian Aboriginal Flag?” and “Who can deliver a Welcome to Country?” whilst those who pass the test are promised that at the subsequent citizenship ceremony for successful applicants, “you may be welcomed by a representative of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are the traditional owners of the land in your area. This Welcome to Country protocol has been practiced by Indigenous Australians on their traditional homelands for thousands of years”.

...

Our Common Bond further instructs us that “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have age-old beliefs and traditions that still guide them today” although it is rather quiet on the Stone Age barbarisms that have been discarded thanks to the civilising effect of European settlement. That reality would undermine the myth of the ‘noble savage’ and that would be, all together now, ‘racist’.

Multiculturalism runs Aboriginalisation a close second, however, with Australia only emerging from its colonial, British darkness once immigration from the brown and black world got properly going (you can’t really trust the European immigrants to be properly enriching because they brought with them the values, traditions and culture of European civilisation). “Migrants from all over the world”, and not just the northern hemisphere, we are jubilantly told, “built this country” (on the foundations laid by “our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples” – never forget the obligatory Aboriginal reference) although the “democratic institutions we inherited from Britain” do get a guernsey but only in a three-way tie with the worthily woke builders of Australia.
