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.

In this article, Leith van Onselen skirts around what has been a cornerstone of his previous arguments that Victoria’s investor targeted land tax hikes that have arguably made housing more accessible for first home buyers. Instead, he veers into vague statements about the state’s economy being ‘weak’ and ‘crime’ being a concern, without evidence or explanation. If he truly prioritised readers, he’d lean into the policy discussion he used to champion and not include superficial and distracting comments that detract from a meaningful dialogue on affordability.

Cut red tape and unlock faster building approvals: A freeze on the National Construction Code.
"The advice also includes a proposal to use AI to cut environmental red tape and clear a backlog of 30,000 housing approvals being assessed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity (EPBC) Act...The EPBC Act refers to all living things, including plants and animals, habitats and places that need protecting as "matters of national environmental significance"."
"Freezing changes to the NCC would boost housing approvals and speed up environmental assessments, according to the advice. The mainstream building industry does not like accountability."

The Housing Industry Association’s opposition to curbing negative gearing doesn’t stack up. Victoria has hit investors with higher land taxes and other levies, yet rents haven’t exploded. The data shows investor pullback doesn’t automatically mean tenants get squeezed.

@rood sad but true, it’s frustrating that there isn't a strong political pushback. The truth is, many politicians are influenced by the powerful property lobby, and their own vested interests play a role, given the number of MPs with large property portfolios. It's hard to expect real change when those making the laws stand to benefit from the status quo. #PropertyLobby #VestedInterests #RealChangeNeeded

@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.

Australia's economic stability is threatened by a potential #recession, driven by a dramatic decline in international students. As Labor pushes to cap foreign enrolments to curb migration, questions arise about whether our economy's reliance on a population boom resembles a #Ponzischeme . #Australia #Economy #InternationalStudents #MigrationPolicy #RecessionRisk #PopulationBoom #PropertyLobby

Raymond pays just $150 a week for his tiny, dark, two-room unit in Paddington, where he's lived for 45 years. Now, developers want him out. Read more about the push for change in this blue-chip Sydney suburb.

Australians overwhelmingly support a crackdown on foreign investors buying #realestate due to concerns over #housing affordability, according to a new survey by the University of Technology Sydney’s Australia-China Relations Institute. The poll found that 83% of Australians believe the government should restrict foreign investment in residential real estate, the highest level in four years. Additionally, 80% agree that foreign buyers drive up housing prices, and 74% say they negatively affect the rental market. #auspol #rentalcrisis #housingcrisis #propertylobby

@Bern I recall inspecting a terrace in Newtown near Sydney Uni with four small bedrooms, each divided into two, making it essentially eight bedrooms. The real estate agent mentioned it wasn't legal, but it seems like no one really minds. It's disheartening how issues like this persist, reminiscent of the persistence of slavery. #propertylobby

"I’m not going to beat around the bush here. The housing market in Australia is an absolute disaster...
.... The federal government is growing the population massively at the same time as construction – the supply side – is collapsing.
And I think the question everybody needs to ask the Albanese government is: why have they brought in record numbers of people into Australia without a plan to house them and also to provide infrastructure for them.
Because this is a disaster... "
