Housing Affordability in Australia
Housing affordability in Australia has emerged as a major election issue, after the First Home Buyer Affordability Index, compiled by the Housing Industry Association and the Commonwealth Bank, fell to its lowest level.
Prime Minister Howard says he understands there is a problem with housing affordability.
“You won’t solve it by releasing for housing the high court or the parliament, which are two buildings included in the leader of the opposition’s six billion dollars,” he said.
Kevin Rudd announced Labor’s polices which includes freeing up surplus commonwealth land and a $500 million fund to cut the cost of infrastructure on new housing developments.
Mr Howard says that prices have risen due to low interest rates allowing people to borrow more and buy more expensive homes.
The Housing Institute of Australia-Commonwealth Bank quarterly review found that housing affordability had fallen to a record low after interest rates hit their highest level in nearly a decade after nine successive rises.
The findings come amid mounting speculation that rates will rise again next month if inflation for the September quarter is high.
But the question needs to be asked what will happen to the housing market if America’s Federal Reserve System is abolished?
This is the policy of a Congressman Ron Paul, a top-tier Republican GOP American Presidential candidate, who opposes the Federal Reserve, and supports a dollar backed by real money gold and silver, as the U.S Constitution mandates, instead of prosperity-wrecking fiat money.
It seems the monetary policy issue is being overlooked in the housing afford ability debate.
Releasing more land effectively dilutes the value of the housing market just like printing fiat money dilutes the value of the dollar.
Wind Farm Plan To Power 400,000 Homes
AUSTRALIA’S largest wind farm, with the capacity to generate enough electricity for 400,000 homes, could be up and running in far western NSW by the end of 2009.
Hamburg-based Conergy, which currently has about 15 per cent of the solar energy market in Australia, announced its proposal today to install about 500 wind turbines northwest of Broken Hill.
10 times larger than the next biggest windfarm approved for NSW the Silverton plant could be operational in stages by late 2009, but the $2 billion facility will only partially meet the coming electricity deficit as the supply of electricity represents the next big challenge for the Iemma Government.
The recent inquiry into energy supply in NSW revealed that electricity is running close to capacity in the state and without further investment in a baseload facility some time in the next six years, residents will start to see interruptions to their electricity supply. Estimates are that the entire sytem in is need of a $15 billion upgrade and makeover.
The company will submit a development application for the farm in March next year, with approval expected by the end of the year.
Conenergy executive director Andrew Durran said the Federal Government’s plans to establish binding targets for renewable energy were key to the project.
“Its success will be very much hinged on strong government legislation on renewable energy targets,” he said.
The project could produce up to 4.5 per cent of NSW’s annual energy needs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by three million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, the company said.
“Silverton Wind Farm will be one of the largest in the world once it’s operating, with the potential for almost 1000 megawatts of renewable energy capacity,” Mr Durran said.
He said he had also spoken to the communities of Silverton and Broken Hill, with most people showing support for a project that would create 100 permanent jobs in the area.
Four landholders have already agreed to host the wind turbines.
