Well, I don't thinkweshouldquitewavethewhiteflagonthatjustyet.
まあ、まだ白旗を揚げるべきではないと思う。
I thinkyoungpeoplearegoingthroughsomehorrendousdifficultieswithhousing.
若い人たちは、住まいの問題でひどい目に遭っていると思う。
Andthepeoplethat I'm mostworriedaboutwhen I lookatwhat's goingoninthehousingmarketareabsolutelyyoungpeople.
そして、住宅市場で起こっていることを見て、私が最も心配しているのは、絶対に若い人たちだ。
What I wantyoungpeopletoknowisthatforthefirsttimeinmylifetime, wehave a Commonwealthgovernmentandstategovernmentsandlocalgovernmentsrightaroundthecountrywhoareurgentlytryingtoaddresssomeissuesthatfranklyshouldhavebeendealtwithdecadesagobutweren't.
Now, we'rehaving a conversationhereandyou'reputtingtheappropriateamountsofpressureonmeasyoushoulddoas a journalist, but I justsaytopeoplelisteningathome, youknow, theCommonwealthhasnotsteppeduponhousingfor a long, longtimeinthiscountryandyoudohave a Commonwealthgovernmentthat's steppingin, statesthatarereallyworkingatthisandtryingtoaddressallofthosebarriersthatarecreatingthoseproblemsatthemoment.
Sofirstly, rentersaredoingitreally, reallytoughandiftherewas a singlethingthatwecoulddotofixalltheproblemsthatrentersareexperiencing, then I wouldabsolutelybeupforthat, butit's notthatsimple.
Sopeoplewillstopbuildinghomes, theywillstopofferingtheirhomesforrenters, theywillcreateconditionswhererentalsbecomecompletelyrundownandatrocioustoliveinandbasicallywe'renotgoingtohave a functioninghousingmarketanymore.
So I'vesaid a coupleoftimes, thebiggestissuethatwefacehereisthatwedon't haveenoughhousingandwehaven't beenbuildingenoughhousingover a longperiodoftime.
何度か申し上げましたが、私たちが直面している最大の問題は、十分な住宅がないことです。
Sowhenwelookathowmanyhouseswehaveperheadofpopulation, perthousandpeoplelivinginourcountry, ourratesarequite a bitbelowothercountriesthatwecompareourselvesto.
Well, I agreethatmigrationhas a partinthisdiscussion.
まあ、この議論に移民が関係していることには同意する。
Ofcourseitdoes, becausethenumberofpeoplelivinginourcountryis a driverofhowmanyhousesweneed.
もちろんそうだ。なぜなら、わが国に住む人の数は、必要な住宅の数を決定する原動力だからだ。
It's reallyimportantnottoexaggeratethatandpoliticiseit, though, andthat's probablysomeoftheconcerns I havewiththedebateatthemoment.
しかし、それを誇張したり、政治的に利用したりしないことが本当に重要だ。
Wehad a littlebitof a real-timeexperimentofwhathappenstohousingwhenourpopulationgoesdown, asitdidduringCOVID, when a lotofpeoplewhoweretemporarymigrantsinourcountryleftAustralia, andhousepricesabsolutelywentthroughtheroof.
COVIDのときのように、人口が減少したときに住宅がどうなるかをリアルタイムで少し実験してみた。
So I don't thinkyoucancategoricallysaythatmigrationisthecauseofalloftheseproblems.
だから、移民がこれらすべての問題の原因だとは断言できないと思う。
However, migrationhasbeenhighpost-COVID, andourgovernmentisreducingmigrationbasicallybacktonormallevels, andthatwillhelpovertime.

You'vepreviouslysaidthatthehousingcrisisis a generationinthemaking.
あなたは以前、住宅危機は一世代で起こるものだと言いましたね。
Isitgoingtotake a generationtofixit?
この問題を解決するには一世代かかるのだろうか?
No, I don't thinkso, genuinely.
いや、純粋にそうは思わない。
Sosomeofthethings I'm talkingabout a fiveyeartimeframeforyou.
だから、あなたにとって5年というタイムフレームで話していることもある。
Sothatiswhat I wouldregardas a sortofmediumterm.
だから、それが中期的なものだと私は考えている。
We'redoingwhatwecanintheshorttermandreallyfocusingonthatfiveyeartimeframeistheperiodwherewecanmake a bigdifference.
私たちは短期的にできることをし、5年という期間に集中することで、大きな変化をもたらすことができる。
