@kibcol1049 any chance of a radical government creating rent controls that will reduce rents back down to 1999 levels?
Just imagine the number of landlords scrambling to sell properties that cost them more in mortgage payments than the new rent brings in.
Just imagine the drop in property values as the market gets saturated.
Just imagine the auctions full of repossessed properties nobody wants to buy just in case the values continue to drop.
Now imagine a radical government that jumps in and finances a national body to buy all these properties at knock down prices and rent them out for 1989 levels, which will be the new rent control level. Thereby forcing another round of private landlords exiting the rental market for good.

Rents are expensive, I know. Corporate landlords are a scourge. But get this: I have, on my 40-acre farm, a 2nd dwelling, 750 sq ft 1 BR house often rented to farm help. In the last 3 months, I've put on a new roof + gutters, interior paint, heat and appliance repairs, electrical work, and this week, a new sewer pipe. Grand total: $18,000. There is no amount of rent I could or would charge to cover that plus taxes, insurance, and outdoor work like fallen tree removal last week.

Another conspiracy to cause a public nuisance the police will be unlikely to be chasing down:

Landlords & Tories are colluding to try and derail the renters' rights bill (despite having had a similar measure in mind when the Tories where in power)....

However, they are likely to find some (quiet) allies in the Labour MPs who are also landlords; it unclear if that will prove enough to find a way to disrupt any expansion in renters' rights?

"Migration tipped to plummet" lol

The Labor gov has repeatedly created immigration targets which itself has allowed to blow past. Temporary visas are demand-driven and without caps there's zero chance immigration would suddenly fall.

"there are also 92,000 people on protection visas yet to be deported, while there are almost 350,000 on bridging visas who will have to leave the country in the next two to three years"

Fat chance. I predict a large % will refuse to leave voluntarily.

"...migration cuts that cause migration levels to whipsaw up and down, instead of settling back to a more stable normal"

erm, no - people from developing countries want to come to Australia no matter what. The top three are China, India and Philippines.

"Without such high levels of migration, Australia’s population growth rate would collapse."

No, it won't the reason why the fertility rate is so low is because cost of living and the housing crisis which is exacerbated by immigration. However, this *is* a trend experienced by all developed nations and the Aus Gov has done shit all to introduce policies to encourage people to start families. Like, why import tons of Muslims and risk destabilising social cohesion as seen in Germany / Sweden / France?

@burgerbecky My guess is that if a landlord buys up all the houses in the area, it can A. rent them out at inflated prices or B. demolish the houses to make hotels. This is the kind of situation illustrated in Elizabeth Magie's Landlord's Game (later modified by Charles Darrow as Monopoly).

I was in the resident portal where I rent and noticed a document among my files.

It was an eviction document dated roughly one year ago. Nobody ever talked to me about evicting me, so I decided to take a look.

That letter was telling me in no uncertain terms and very stridently that I was on the hook to pay $0, or else!!!!!!!!

Maybe I should send them a check for $0.

Nah... I won't do that.
