If Australia follows the advice of the Greens, it will end up like Ireland.

I don’t mean full of history, incredibly green hills and wonderful hospitality, but facing a rental crisis like nowhere else on the planet.

In Australia we have the greatest rental shortage ever recorded, but it pales in comparison to the situation in Ireland.

The key question is this: how did Ireland get into such a parlous situation with virtually nowhere for people to live as tenants?

The answer is: they implemented government policies very similar to those the Greens want to have legislated here in Australia.
