MacroBusiness: another one bites the dust.
Today’s headline — “The new house price boom begins” — is pure property spruik propaganda. But if you actually read the article, it ends in a tone of deep concern about housing unaffordability, immigration-driven demand, and structural market failure. So which is it?
This is classic bait-and-switch — reel in the punters with bullish noise, then quietly mutter about the mess underneath. It’s dishonest, and it’s deliberate.
MacroBusiness once stood apart — sharp, data-driven, unafraid to challenge the real estate lobby or mainstream economic spin. But that era is over. These days, they’re churning out the same manipulated messaging as the rest. A compromised rag peddling housing FOMO while pretending to lament the consequences.
This isn’t journalism — it’s narrative management for vested interests.

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 land

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