As I was saying, the New South Wales government need to stop having a love affair with money and start caring about their constituency when it comes to these issues. The Financial Review of 21 March said that we can expect this housing affordability tax to go to $15 billion this year. Another $1.7 billion from the GST in New South Wales is returned to New South Wales, but do we see any relief for New South Wales people buying houses? Absolutely not. It goes straight into the Iemma skyrocket. That is what is going to continue. Based on the performance of the Iemma government, New South Wales people can make a very good decision on Saturday and vote them completely out of office. That is the only way houses are going to be affordable in New South Wales.
