Greetings folks,

As per the question, how does one get involved with a lobby group? Reason for the question is because like most, I'm tired of this property crisis and I really feel we should do what Canada did and cut off foreign purchasing to our real estate industry as this will bring down the pricing of housing and potentially even your rent.

Thanks

I wonder about making overseas property buying reciprocal.

Country A permits Australians to buy there then they can buy here.

Country B does not permit Australians to buy then we reciprocate and they are out of the game.

Obvious concerns are straw-man buyers and buying through companies but I'm certain that folk cleverer than me could work out how to resolve these.

I suspect greedy REAs and politicians can and will circumvent whatever is implemented.
