#Labor's #HelpToBuy Scheme actually didn't HELP anyone who wasn't already well-off, that's why #Greens wouldn't support it.

#TheGreens did support it after getting another BILLION from #ALP for housing though!

Making #HelpToBuy only available on new-builds was the reason I couldn't get one. There were a pitiful number of available new-builds in my area, and I didn't want to have to move 50 miles away from my family, job & and support network to find one.

This won't even make a dent in the problem. 👇

Voting against a do-nothing policy is not "attacking #Labor" even if rightly so they SHOULD be attacked!

#ALP's weak-as-piss #HelpToBuy scheme would've helped NOBODY at all and #Greens squeezed another BILLION out of labor before supporting it.

Good work @greens.org.au !

How was #Labor's original #HelpToBuy Scheme actually going to help ANYONE who wasn't already well-off?

Our submission on Help to Buy is in. Biggest concerns? *Inflated prices *Hidden fiscal costs *No perpetual affordability 💡 Shared equity could work better. Tie it to Community Land Trusts → permanent affordability, real public benefit: sbee.link/6phagtynb8 #HousingCrisis #HelpToBuy
Submission: Help to Buy Regulations 2025 - Grounded
Grounded has made a submission on the proposed Help to Buy regulations. While we welcome stronger consumer protections, the scheme risks inflating housing prices, obscuring real costs, and missing the chance to deliver permanent affordability.

Did you have a look at #Labor's #HelpToBuy Scheme? That wasn't good. That wasn't going to help ANYONE gain a housing... unless you were already well off.

#Greens squeezed another BILLION dollars from #ALP in the end though.

This is what you are were supporting in the #HelpToBUy scheme:

Does it sound like a great policy to solve the #HousingCrisis? Does it help anyone buy their first home or anyone living in a tent?

Osborne’s Razor rises again. “Higher-income households were the biggest beneficiaries of George Osborne’s Help to Buy mortgage schemes, introduced in the 2010s, according to an analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) thinktank.” #r4today #GeorgeOsborne #HelpToBuy

Tories convinced themselves labour was responsible for recession, ignoring subprime market, and so thought #helptobuy would be a good idea

The UK’s shared ownership scheme didn’t solve affordability; it inflated prices & benefited sellers over buyers. Australia shouldn’t repeat this mistake 🛑 Let’s focus on solutions like Community Land Trusts 🌱
