The prime minister will announce the $2 billion one-off investment — which will be distributed among the states and territories within the next two weeks — during a speech at the Victorian Labor Conference today.
NSW will give their share straight to property developers.
Vic will give their share as a negative gearing special rebate.
Qld will give their share as a first home buyers deposit. It will instantly raise the prices of all real estate by that same amount, ensuring that you can never be a first home buyer.
Tassie will probably spend theirs on a footy stadium, with a granny flat in the carpark to make sure it qualifies
ACT gets 1.5 billion of this to go to housing on submarines.
Well spotted. I was trying to work out what to add for SA, and then I wondered “What’s more ignored than saying somebody is forgotten?”. So I left SA out XD
No offence to SAers -or the various other states above- it’s just a jab at how the various governments treat us.
We have a client at work who is based in SA and when I noticed their timezone I was genuinely confused: “why is clientX set to GMT+9:30, they’re not in Adelaide are they?”

For some reason, WA won’t get anything.
And NT is forgotten altogether.
SA didn’t even make the list. Just like 4 out of 5 Australian music tours.

No one expects Adelaide
The Adelaide test match still catches me out every year.
“Why the hell is the cricket starting at…Oh…”
Australian politics in a nutshell.
So good! 👏
