I am with tor. Instead of this campaign each one who supports this view should contact the AEC, put $250 down, get the required signatures and make himself an independent choice at the next state or federal election. You have to be in the system to change the system and even then it is bloody difficult to achieve.
I wouldn't agree with this for a number of reasons (as an insider) but there might be something in starting a token protest party with some strong stated policies and some media attention (altho we know how much the papers are corrupted with RE money) called the Affordable Housing Party or some such. AHP comes before ALP in the alphabet ; )
However, even then, half the population would be against you as they have a vested wealth interest in keeping prices high.
