Is Mass Immigration Destroying Housing? + Watch Penny Wong's Face When Pocock EXPOSES Gambling Connections + 🍽️ The Punters Political Fundraiser
Is Mass Immigration Destroying Housing?
THE DEBATE: Onselen, a Former Goldman Sachs economist, claims immigration drives 70% of rental increases while Grundoff, Australia Institute economist, argues tax concessions cause 80-90% of house price rises, with conflicting population data exposing the confusion.
THE DAMAGE: Onselen focuses on rental crisis from population surge outpacing supply, while Grundoff blames house price speculation from investors using tax breaks to outbid first-home buyers at auctions.
THE OUTCOME: Surprisingly, both experts agree on solutions - scrap negative gearing and cut immigration - but politicians keep pushing "supply-only" fixes while Federal Housing Minister blames states instead of reforming capital gains tax under her control.

Watch Penny Wong's Face When Pocock EXPOSES Gambling Connections
THE SCAM: PM Albanese heads Parliamentary Sports Club charging politicians $273 but selling gambling lobby and corporations "access to 200+ MPs" for $25,000 while registered as lobbying organisation disguised as sports club.
THE DAMAGE: Two years after Labor's Murphy Review recommended banning gambling ads, government refuses to act while Albanese rubs shoulders with gambling-dependent media bosses at NRL Grand Final and Sports Bet pays $4,000 for minister access.
THE COVER-UP: Penny Wong dismissed Pocock's questions as attention-seeking, calling it a "charity," while the club kicked out Australia's greatest athlete for exposing their lobbying credentials.

🍽️ The Punters Political Fundraiser
THE MISSION: Lobbyists in Parliament House outnumber politicians 3 to 1. So we're hosting our own political fundraising dinner to expose the "cash for access" system where corporations buy influence with politicians. At our dinner everyday Punters get access to their representitives.
THE UPDATE:
We have sold out all 220 tickets and our fundraising is now at $57,978! You can donate to the lobbyist here. The night will feature:
- 10 politicians to schmooze
- Be hosted by Osher Günsberg
- Be livestreamed for punters who couldn't get tickets
- Have live policy voting on the night
Our goal is "democratising buying our politicians" and proving that if democracy is for sale, regular punters should be able to make a bid too.
