@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.

@ki_sekiya You’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s the fundamental issue facing a whole generation. How can you plan for a future family when a huge chunk of your income is swallowed by rent or a massive mortgage? We have the space, but the system isn't working for everyday people.

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.

Another Aussie city flags Airbnb crackdown forcing investors to rethink short-term rentals

If you're looking to make money, it might be time to give up on the Airbnb dream.

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.

Millions of Aussie renters get a boost as new rules come into effect tomorrow: 'A real difference'

The changes will mean landlords in the state will have a stricter set of rules placed on them.

The media will tell you Sydney’s auction “clearance rate” is a sizzling 69.8%. But have a look at the fine print — 1483 auctions listed, only 880 reported. That’s barely 60% coverage. We’re fast reaching the point where half the results are missing, yet the headlines still shout “hot market!” Nothing like selective reporting to keep the property bubble afloat.

Yesterday, the South Australian Parliament released its final report into the short stay accommodation sector – and it’s an important step forward. After months of submissions and testimony, the Committee’s message is clear: short stay accommodation like Airbnb plays a valuable role in South Australia’s visitor economy, particularly during high-demand periods like LIV Golf, WOMADelaide, Gather Round, and other major events to come. We welcome the Committee’s recommendations for a sensible, evidence-based regulatory framework that balances community needs with the benefits short stays bring to local economies. Key takeaways: ✅ Support for a statewide registration scheme and a code of conduct – two reforms we’ve long backed to provide transparency and clarity for hosts, guests, and communities. ❌ No support for expensive taxes or levies – recognising there’s no evidence to support them, and they risk damaging tourism and local livelihoods. 🤝 A call for ongoing consultation with the short stay sector – to get the rules right – together. This isn’t just about policy, it’s about people. Thousands of South Australians open their doors to visitors each year, generating income that helps pay the bills, while also powering regional tourism and small business. A huge thank you to every host who made a submission. Your voices were heard! Airbnb looks forward to continuing the conversation with the SA Government to help implement practical, fair rules that work for everyone.
