On Australia’s leadership and the housing market downturn: an edited selection of your views.

“Michelle Grattan asks: ‘Can Albanese regain political altitude for Labor – and himself?’ Well I’m certainly not 'over Albo’. I think despite your characterisation of Anthony Albanese, I feel safe in the knowledge that he is out there working for Australians during these very difficult times in the world. He’s being proactive to overcome the mess caused by so-called ‘charismatic’ leaders. I certainly can’t see anyone from any of the other parties that I would want to rely on for Australia’s future going forward.”

“Reading about the deepening downturn in Australia’s housing market, it made me realise how fortunate I was to sell my only investment property before the government announced its latest changes. Now retired and owning my home, I provide free accommodation to my two adult children, who are unlikely to ever afford their own homes. I think the article overlooks the impact these changes will have on the rental market as investors leave. It seems the increase in first-home buyers is relatively small compared to the number of renters. Those unable to buy will continue competing for an increasingly smaller rental market.”
