The ACT's 99-year leases are expiring — what does that mean for home owners?
By Niki BurnsideThe ACT is the only jurisdiction in Australia that operates under a leasehold system, meaning every home owner is actually a lessor. With the first of those leases coming up for renewal, there are questions about the leasing system's origin and ongoing relevance.

#Auspol #HousingPolicy #AusHistory #GarethHutchens
interesting, quick read.
key points:
“Under the leadership of Robert Menzies, the Liberal-Country opposition would thereafter be strongly for individualism, free enterprise, and home ownership, in contrast to the Labor government's socialism, controls, and apparent denial of home ownership.
Widespread home ownership would be key to building up Australia's middle class. It would improve social cohesion and ensure that younger generations would have material lives that were as good, if not better, than their parents.
If you owned your own home, you'd have something to defend. It would turn you from a potential revolutionary into a citizen.”
….WHAT HAPPENED/“
“In the last few decades, under the leadership of both Liberal and Labor governments, that old belief that Australia would prosper if younger generations and low-income households could afford to purchase their own homes was apparently discarded.
A generation of Australians was encouraged to buy more houses than it needed.”

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