    The political history stuff is still relevant, and sadly, not that much has changed in policy terms either. Grant Robertson and his allies in Labour came up with policy to address some of this, and pushed it through Ardern's Cabinet, but NatACT First mostly reversed it in their first 100 days.

  3. Australia’s 178 billionaires are $25.7bn richer than last year as 3.7 million live in poverty

    "Oxfam finds the 20 richest Australians now hold more wealth than the bottom 3 million households."

  4. Melbourne: A rare house price oasis in Australia’s overheated property market.

    While most capitals are pricing out first home buyers, Melbourne is quietly becoming more accessible — thanks in large part to Victoria’s investor-targeted tax regime.

    No praise, of course, is given to the state government for:
    • The Vacant Residential Land Tax (discouraging empty homes)
    • Higher land tax rates on investment properties
    • The windfall gains tax on rezoned land

    These measures have cooled investor demand and helped keep prices within reach of everyday buyers. Other states take note.
