  10. The small changes that can make a big difference for renters like Bernadette
    By Sarah Richards

    About one in three Queenslanders with disability surveyed say they lived in a home that didn't meet their needs last year, a report says.

  11. This report reads like a Property Council press release rather than analysis. Falling prices in parts of Melbourne are framed as a crisis, when for decades the real crisis has been housing becoming completely unaffordable for ordinary people. Victoria is one of the few states actually trying to increase supply, tax speculation and take pressure off renters and first home buyers. Of course the property lobby hates that. Affordable housing is not a nightmare for the public, it is only a nightmare for investors and developers who rely on endless price inflation. A correction after years of excess is not failure, it is overdue.

  12. @rood Yes, they had policies—policies to boost the value of their multiple investment properties and to keep the property lobby and big business happy. Let’s not forget the media barons profiting from the world-record fees charged for home sale advertisements.
