Did you know it costs about 40% more to live in a remote part of Australia compared with capital cities? From groceries and fuel to electricity, basic essentials are much more expensive for people living in remote communities.

Image is of a photograph of a remote town in Australia from a distance. It is a small town with low-rise buildings against a backdrop of clear blue sky and stocky rock formations and hills. The town is spotted with yellowing trees and showered in balmy autumn sun.

There is text overlain against the blue sky. The text reads, "Did you know it costs an estimated forty percent more to live in remote areas than in urban areas?"

Image is of an illustration of a truck.

On the truck, text reads, "Freight costs to remote areas lead to much higher prices for essentials, like food and fuel."

We must curb the unfair tax breaks that drive up house prices and worsen inequality, and significantly increase the supply of social and affordable housing to meet need. #TaxBreaks #Housing #auspol #Election25 Check out ACOSS's Election Policy Platform: acoss.org.au/acoss-electi...

Fixing the housing crisis. It's more than building houses. We must curb expensive tax breaks that cause housing prices to soar.

We should halve the Capital Gains Tax discount and end negative gearing to reduce home prices, and redirect the billions spend on tax breaks to build more housing.

The housing Crisis will not be fixed by policies that add demand without boosting supply and drive up home prices.

We need to Curb tax breaks for housing investors that drive up home prices and worsen inequality and increase supply of social housing to meet need.

Proposals to loosen APRA home lending rules will likely increase home prices & household debt, and do little to improve home ownership overall. #auspol #Election2025 Read about the proposals ABC News: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
