Despite barely any population growth, Tasmania doesn't have enough houses
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-19/tas-housing-in-demand-despite-poor-population-growth-your-say/106915546

People need to be stopped from hoarding houses if we're going to increase housing affordability for low-income renters and middle-income people who want to buy a home.
Nobody is saying it.
The article devotes just one sentence to hinting at the problem: "However, that does not take into consideration other factors, such as the number of homes sitting vacant."

Real estate agents are financially motivated by selling more houses to rich people who treat them as collectables that remain unused. Politicians are financially motivated by donations from property developers and wannabe property moguls. Of course these people are saying the solution to the problem is "Increase supply," and increase the offerings for this unhealthy spiral. The solution is to wean rich people off their hoarding-addiction for houses.

This is interesting for politics nerds – the borders of Tasmania's five parliamentary seats have been juggled around a lot, and the seat of Franklin has been surprisingly renamed as Tongerlongeter, after an Aboriginal resistance warrior:

We sold our home and settled on April 10th. I just got a rates notice from the council. Contacted the Conveyancer and…. It currently takes ~4 months for the Land Titles Office to process changes of ownership.
This government can’t even manage a simple, time sensitive process but it will apparently be able to manage the development, budget, construction and operation of a >$1B stadium that we don’t need, has been stated by the Consultency firm the government appointed as not being financially viable.

Can't say I'm surprised, since Tas Labor provoked the last election then refused to work with the Greens to take power. Why would you vote for Labor in Tasmania, if it's not interested in being in government? #taspol

Tasmanian politics really hitting the hard stuff. Premier Rockliff has been censured by Parliament, which amounts to basically nothing.

This is after two Ministers resigned after breaching the Ministerial integrity code.

We have a crooked Government and an ineffective opposition. The censure was brought about by the Greens!

Tasmanian maths:

Let's help first time house buyers into the market by cutting $10,000 from the current first time buyers grant.

(I guess the money for the stadium has to come from somewhere?)
