Formerly @il_beavo of Twitter. Previous lives in politics, hospitality, and coercing people onto—but not under—trains. Carer by necessity. Catservant by demand. Roleplayer by avocation. Australian by birth. Ethnically Gen-X/culturally Millennial. Less an agent of chaos than a deniable asset. Through my nostrils I exhale the horror of the lonely places of the earth. Searchable via Tootfinder. I boost a lot. See just my toots at https:// justmytoots.com/@davej@dice.ca mp

They're talking about government-mandated #RentControl. The article doesn't mention it, because #jermalisms, but we have it in #Canberra. My #rent went up $5/week last year; were we still in #Brisbane, we'd be paying exactly twice what we were five years ago.
We don't have a #HousingAffordability problem in #Australia—we have a politician problem. There's simply no political will at state or federal levels to rein landlords in.
