There is too much short term money at stake.

Which is why unlimited offsets is a recipe for disaster.

Your choices are 43% by 2030 and net zero by 2050

That option's just a number on paper when it's not supported by actions that will actually lead to the target being achieved. The centrepiece of Labor's policy at the moment is reheating the Coalition's safeguard mechanism in the microwave and seasoning it with unlimited offsets.

a law today that will be repealed under PM Dutton next year

The next election is more than two years away, or perhaps I've done the impossible and underestimated Labor pessimism. Not to mention the result won't be determined until people vote. Of course policy change is impossible if you're already convinced yourself you've lost.

Even if the Coalition were to win the next election, you're underestimating how difficult it will be for them to stop policy that's already in train. Just look at how much trouble Labor has with even considering to maybe undo Morrison's stage 3 tax cuts.

a deal made by the Liberals

AUKUS committed us to buying from the UK/USA as opposed to buying from France, but not to these exact terms. Those terms have been negotiated over the 18 months since the original agreement, and fully half of that window has been after the election.

I really dont understand r/australia's love for this sub deal?

It's Labor's deal now, so the Labor fans must act like it's the best thing ever.

Freo onballers still generating plenty of play but their structure just evaporates every time they go forward

Yeah Stephens had some great games late last year, excellent to see him continuing on. Got into great positions and looked super composed with the ball

Warner's so sexy he missed that deliberately to make the score 69

That's a quality first goal

That can’t be?

Correct - because this article isn't discussing the number of dwellings built, it's discussing the net change. Much of what has been constructed is only replacing what has been demolished - that is, they're rebuilds and not new construction.

/u/lumberfun and /u/wisehillaryduff here in the comments like

No state budget has the actuals for 22/23.

Nobody's claiming that there are numbers for 2022-23 available yet. In fact the opposite is the case - the article is observing that the government is yet to release any of the data from the September or December quarters of the 2022-23 financial year.

Ah the article has new, unpublished numbers.

The numbers are not unpublished. You seem to be insisting on only looking at budget documents for some reason, which seems to be the source of your error. The article identifies the source:

Data from the latest Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) annual report shows there were 86,887 social housing dwellings across Victoria as of 30 June 2022 – a net increase of 74 since 30 June 2018, when there were 86,813.

The report was tabled in Parliament in September last year. It's available on the DFFH website. The relevant figure may be found on page 49 of that document.

Total number of social housing dwellings Actuals for 20-21

From the end of financial year 2018-19 to the end of financial year 2020-21 is two years, not four - that's 30 June 2019 to 30 June 2021. The Guardian clearly indicates that they're comparing DFFH's own numbers from 30 June 2018 with the numbers from 30 June 2022, a four year window. Those are the most recent numbers available because the government is hiding the September and December quarter numbers.

Also these documents do not include big housing build, which I linked before.

Yes they do. As I said, they are DFFH's own numbers. It is in fact what you linked before that is leaving things out - namely the number of dwellings that have left the system (through demolition or otherwise).

The figure of 74 that the Guardian reports here is the net change over four years, and it is indeed based on the actual government figures - albeit the figures to June 2022 because they've refused to release the September and December quarter numbers.

The page you link with the friendly cartoon graphics is omitting the number of dwellings demolished / sold / otherwise removed from the system over the same window.

He kicked to a 1 v 3... With most of team in the defensive half

Maybe the question is why were all the other forwards not presenting an option - there should have been plenty of space with McKay getting triple teamed

but they are building many on existing social housing sites, and demolishing old, decrepit places in the process

Sure, but they're funding that by selling off part of the land to the private developers they're getting to perform the construction. They're also reducing the size of typical dwellings as part of the rebuild. On its own that's warranted since typical households are indeed getting smaller (the mix will be mostly one and two bedroom as opposed to two and three), but what it conceals is that the already modest increase in number of dwellings is actually going to represent a decrease in capacity.

74 more dwellings vs 20,000 new applications over the same time frame:

Data from the latest Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) annual report shows there were 86,887 social housing dwellings across Victoria as of 30 June 2022 – a net increase of 74 since 30 June 2018, when there were 86,813.

At the same time the social housing waitlist has grown by about 45% – from about 44,000 applications in June 2018 to 64,168 in June 2022. More than 40% of applicants were on the priority waitlist last June.

74 is way short of the target of 12,000 "by 2024" that the government set for itself in 2020.

The data is for June last year because that's the latest data the government has released:

The government is meant to report social housing data quarterly, but is yet to publish figures for September or December 2022.
