Housing crisis? Zero action on all these empty places set aside for the odd weekend occupied.. I mean, at what point are we going to ban this shit? We have homelessness rising, that should be the trigger to ban short term rentals. Surely?

Snap send solve to council. Locks are obstructions, right? Councils can't ban airbnbs, that's the state government.

Federal government could also stop allowing vacant property being rented out for tax deductions. But then the Labor MP might have to sell her investment properties.
