There have been modular in factory builders building things in Oz for years Over seas- in many places. why why why why why does it take a bloody crisis - which one could see coming - to get Aussie government AND industry off it's arse? this stuff was and is so so so obvious. And I wouldn't stuff about depending on this 'build it in Oz' bullshit - yep - fine, begin doing that - but, in the meantime - bring modulars in from China in the 10's of thousands ------- put Aussie standards on them - DON'T take the cheap crap - and buy in bulk. Set up the Aussie manufacturing as well - but, don't wait for that - all Oz does is wait - wait and wait for it's next crisis if we can throw a trillion down the drain for a few useless subs - we can throw a trillion at some modular houses ------- it's not that hard a concept ---------------- HOUSE the population without housing people, feeding people, keeping them healthy and educating them - a country is going nowhere no nation was ever built with cut cut cut, low debt, low tax and no investment never has been, never can be, never will be

Now the job is for the State and Feds to bash up local councils and make them play ball. A bloke wanted to put a granny flat in his back yard for his mum in brisbane. They even got it built on wheels to dodge the permanent structure rules, but council wanted to slug them 22K for the application! Just greed and certainly not helping the housing problem!
