In today's episode of Australian politics, the Coalition has accused Labor of treating veterans 'with contempt', while the Victorian Liberals have vowed to 'throw open the doors to gas'. Because nothing says 'supporting our troops' like a good old-fashioned political spat.

Meanwhile, Tim Wilson has jumped on the rent-increase bandwagon, declaring a 'collapse in confidence' in the housing market since the budget. According to Wilson, the government's 'toxic housing taxes' are 'smashing the market', and renters are bearing the brunt of 40 years of governmental neglect. He also took the opportunity to tell Clare to stop 'gaslighting Australians' and to take responsibility for her housing policy. Because nothing says 'constructive debate' like accusing your opponent of psychological manipulation on live TV.

Wilson's solution? Well, he didn't exactly offer one, but he did mention the government's 'overshooting migration target' as a factor in rising rents. So, the usual suspects: taxes, migration, and a 'broken housing system' that apparently no one has managed to fix in four decades. But hey, at least the Liberals are promising to open doors to gas. That should solve everything, right?
