The Albanese Leftist government has it in for landlords who, unlike the government itself, do provide housing. In SA, the Leftist government is working on preventing property owners from barring tenants having pets. Landlords have enough trouble with dirty, destructive tenants without adding animals to their woes.
Instead of putting the boot into landlords, the government should be building public housing. Last year, the waiting list was 17,000. Just keep meddling with private investors, and there will be a lot more.
And, the idiots, knowing the problem with housing are going to bring another 700,000 immigrants here over a couple of years.
As Graham suggests, the housing problem is a government problem. Labor or Liberal; and it's a good bet that the people most affected by the housing shortage and mass immigration are still voting for one or other of these incompetent parties; neither of which, plus the extreme Greens, give a stuff about them.
