Masterfully stealing 7 billion in one stroke of the pen from the already cash strapped taxpayer. With approval from the IMF for the sneaky wording. And clauses against allowing affordable housing recommended as they did in the good 'ole US as this would lower property prices. wouldn't want the homeless to have an opportunity to get housed after the housing bubble burst would we?. Seems that all these capitalist institutions are well oiled and working together in concert to fleece the common man and keep him in a state of poverty and stress over having a roof over his head. Add to this the coming property tax (which will likely include the family home!) and you start to wonder exactly whose interests this system really serves and are they taking the piss as well as all our money.
