It's alright guys, the closet marxist at the Greens is going to fix the housing crisis, by taking your private property without asking and without compensation.
The Greens have it all sorted, have no fear. Just ignore your rights being trampled on.
Urban Development Institute of Australia (SA) CEO Liam Golding said the bill is “an affront” to the state’s legal system.
“Fundamentally, the idea that the state can take private property rights without compensation or consent is an affront to everything that we have as our legal system,” Mr Golding said. “The bill is just poorly drafted … there are no checks and balances.
“It’s utterly subjective and from a legal perspective there’s nothing stopping the government from saying that a week is long enough for development to have progressed.
“There’s also no definition of what underdeveloped land means.”
Additionally, Mr Golding raised concerns over the fact that the bill doesn’t provide the land owner or developer the opportunity to appeal their case.
However, Greens MLC Robert Simms defended the bill by saying it has passed through the upper house due to the government’s in-principle support while they work though the details.
“Certainly (the bill) won’t be passed through the parliament in its current form,” he said.
“But it’s not unusual for bills to win support from the upper house and then for the government to work with the crossbench to make changes.”
Mr Simms said the bill will work predominantly to motivate developers.
Of course it is, that's why it doesn't state it in the legislation.
Just take him at his word and don't protest.
“What this bill is trying to do is incentivise the land owners in circumstances where they have no intent of developing it and it’s suitable for development … to do something with the land,” Mr Simms said.
Ooops there it is, these radical leftists dribble so much shit out of their mouths they forget which lie they've told you and do them selves in.
Land owners and developers are two vastly different things now aren't they Mr Simms? I'm sure with all his university degrees and being on the verge of a phd he's surely well aware of that.
This raises a bigger question. Who the fuck are the government or council to tell me what to do with my land and property? If I want a large back yard, covered in grass, then who the fuck is this communist flog to tell me what to do with it?
A sensible policy would be to make it easier for people to build a 'tiny home' or a granny flat and rent it out, or sell it, making it easier to subdivide their land. If they want to, if they can afford to. I believe the government is already on to this in part?
An outrageous tyrannical policy is to say we're going to decide if your land is underdeveloped or vacant, we'll decide when how long is too long, and we'll just take it from you.
“We don’t have the luxury of people being able to hoard vacant land while people sleep on the street … we’re in the middle of a housing crisis.”
Right luxuries..How big is his tax payer funded salary again?
Where is his legislation or proposals to lower those salaries to be in line with the rest of society?
Where is his legislation or proposals to eliminate all the benefits they get as politicians, the generous pensions etc?
Where is the legislation and proposals to create economic prosperity for the majority? Where are the visions for jobs and industries?
But in typical communist fashion, this guy wants to take from those who have worked hard and built a good life for them selves and their families, and give to others who haven't done the same, or haven't been able to do the same, because people like him and the rest of the circus in parliament are doing nothing to create economic prosperity for the majority.
Their only solution is to keep taking and taking.
Pretty soon, we wont be worrying about a housing crisis, we will be worrying about a welfare state crisis.
Where will the money come from when there isn't enough productive people and businesses left to tax when the majority are stuck on welfare in a broken system?
