#rentalcrisisaustralia — Public Fediverse posts

@GhostOnTheHalfShell But you'd never know it, that victoria has a land value tax. The media silence is almost as loud as the tax bills themselves. While the rest of the country is in a housing fever dream, Victoria has been quietly implementing a blueprint that treats housing as a service rather than a purely speculative casino.

Governments are finally pushing back — another Aussie city is cracking down on Airbnb and short-term rentals, forcing investors to rethink the “easy money” model.
Property should be for homes, not profit-machines. These reforms show that some leaders are prioritising the long-term housing needs of people, not just the wealthy few who view homes as cash cows.

Victoria is once again leading the way in putting people ahead of the wealthy few. From tomorrow renters in Victoria will benefit from stronger protections: a ban on no-fault evictions, a ban on rental bidding (so tenants don’t have to compete like auction bidders), longer notice periods for rent increases and property changes, and minimum standards for rental homes.
These reforms remind us that government can serve the many — not just the privileged minority who own property. I woild be proud to live in a state taking that message seriously. You won't be reading about this in the Murdoch controlled msm.
