@DrCameronMurray The link is psychological. I.e. FOMO. Essentially reaching a demand tipping point combined with things like deposit scheme. Housing supply is a contributor. And it also a clear treatment to address symptoms. Important to separate causation from treatment.

@AshPolitik Alp needs to focus on productivity. Focus on the clients not the competition. 2 years to go

[Sean Smith @SeanSmitharh]

@TheKouk Productivity is the challenge of the day.

@BenPennings Albo perpetrated the same policies way past there use by date. Howard hasn’t been around for nearly 20 years. I guess Guardian readers still feel a warm glow bashing Howard.

@AshPolitik Through action or inaction the current government is clearly responsible for the current set of circumstances. That’s what it means to lead.

@VedranAus Except when it is new construction.

@AvidCommentator China didn’t open up according to the vision. Demographics playing out and AI will change things also. Strange days

[Sean Smith @SeanSmitharh]

@TheKouk Can’t happen soon enough.

@AshPolitik Inflation for the past 5 years has been averaging over 4%. The experience in the community is one of going backwards. ALP operates somewhere between wishful thinking and outright deception.

@DrCameronMurray @Crashman_X Tax for simplicity and efficiency spend for equity, growth and risk management. Imagine automated tax returns with no human involvement. Lots of freed up human capital.

@NannanBay The answer to settle the majority is to put a financial lens on and demonstrate the value being created in tangible and practical way. What are the Smart goals? and what does success look like?. Too often the goals are abstract and it feels like waste.

@padubyatee Irrespective of the root cause they haven’t manage to address the issue in 4 years

@TMFScottP @Ryan_Aus86 Can you imagine a footy coach blaming their predecessor after a season or to? Despite the implication in my comment I don’t believe in blame at all. Sadly it’s a political and media reality.

[Sean Smith @SeanSmitharh]

@TheKouk It’s one variable of many.

[Sean Smith @SeanSmitharh]

@TMFScottP @Ryan_Aus86 Blame the last lot has expired IMO.

[Sean Smith @SeanSmitharh]

@TheKouk And where is inflation going to land?

[Sean Smith @SeanSmitharh]

@padubyatee Caps from councils reduce the impact of short term accommodation since then and we haven’t built enough to meet new demand. Ergo population growth as a source.

@padubyatee So short term rentals convert to long term rentals because there are no tourists and then swing back the other way as things reopen. This and the higher completions in 2020 seem an explanation for the higher availability that year.

[Sean Smith @SeanSmitharh]

@padubyatee Is there a good data source?
