Yeah, Australian governments are in a really weird spot in that home owners outnumber non-home owners - so if they pass policy that reduces housing prices, they lose the next election - but younger generations now outnumber boomers so if they don't make housing more accessible then they lose the next election.
So you have to create enough housing but not too much to try and keep everyone happy... although personally I would tackle things like negative gearing to make it less appealing to own many properties as investments. Maybe the more you have the less you get back.
