Thank Germaine Greer. ah unintended consequences Germaine which includes many childless woman and also homeless woman in later life - well done - NOT.
Record low interest rates and relaxed lending standards plus fraud on stated income for lending applications all a part of the fire the govt adds to with handouts to fuel the fire.
The fire can be put out and the money put to better use elsewhere - only takes politicians with back bone to make it happen.... which is why we wait.
