RE "...Ross admits that most of the rental issues in Australia were caused by a lack of supply.

We could solve most of the problem through supply, but the issue is that it's not practical to do it as you'd need a surplus to ensure there Is always choice......." it's not practical to do

This comment is not correct. Shortage problem has only risen in last FEW YEARS. Numerous houses only have 1 or 2 people in. Supply needs to be increased. Government has had years to increase supply but they do NOTHING

LAND TAX LAND TAX LAND TAX

Why is this greedy grab by State Government never ever raised as a contributor to exorbitant rents

A typical inner west house can attract an annual land tax bill of almost $20,000!

Thats up to $400 per week rent relief. I'm sick of government blaming "greed landlords"

Easy fix. Relax the land tax rules
