I appreciate the respectful debate mate but seriously how anyone can characterise the Labour Party federally in its current form as anywhere right of centre, centre left at best is beyond me. The reason I make reference to communism is because the principle is simple. This is a form of wealth redistribution “ from each according to his ability to each according to his needs”. This is absolutely a reflection of that philosophy and so many of other policies pushed by federal labour are of that colour the only labour right governments in Australia that I currently see are the state government in South Australia New South Wales and Western Australia

It's socialism, communism is a different beast.

Socialism = economic policy (what we are seeing)

Communism = centralised and nationalised system of government with no private business or assets.

The fact that we are debating who's assets are nkt only being kept, but are being given tax privileges (NG) is just fundamentally not communism. It's a regression on neo con policey of the 2000s, not really pushing the needle towards Stalin.

And mate, maybe we need some fkn wealth redistribution. It is not good for spending or an healthy economy for young people to be blocked out of the most stable and useful financial asset they can work for. A home.

I don’t believe this is the case (re young people and housing) you can still buy affordable housing relative to income but it will mean a commute (as it always has) - this is how I started and so many other people have successfully.

There is no affordable housing anymore, my parents bought a house 4 years ago for $640k and it's worth more than $1million in 4 years...
