So it is all about population, regardless of the physical size of the area the population is spread over, seems a bit one dimensional.
Maybe a look at a map of Australia might help. Victoria's population is confined to a very small area, therefore logics would explain that it would be cheaper and easier to supply services.
Granted the services would be larger, but that doesn't give a proportional increase in cost.
Supplying water, sewage treatment, electricity, Government services and road infrastructure to a State the size of W.A, has very little to do with population size, maybe a reality check is required all round.
The Turnbull government looks 'gonski'.
Big swings in the NSW by-elections. Over 50s are deserting the coalition. Mightily peeved superannuants group with the recent changes.
Who's Ray Hadley?
One of them redneck right wing shock jock dudes who sit in their comfortable studios telling people what to think on salaries of $2.5 mill plus.
Eslake has his finger in his ar.se. It's a supply issue. Otherwise it won't change house prices but still jack up rents.Another knife into the Morrison muppet on negative gearing.

Seen QLD lately?
Yes it is 1.85 m/klm2 and W.A is 2.65m/klm2.
Queensland has less than double W.A's population, yet apparently gets a disproportionate gst handout.
So your point was?

Oh, because he has divorced the treasurer today... a lovers tiff I think
And who are renters going to rent from.Yes it is a supply issue, and the supply for owner occupiers will increase if investors leave the market.
And who are renters going to rent from.
You need to slow immigration for negative gearing tinkering to work. Otherwise overseas investors will still buy regardless. So prices ain't dropping for long.Isn't that "rising rent" just a distraction? I mean, the proposed solution aims to lower property prices, will it do that? It definitely would. So what does "rising rent" got to do with it?
And that's assuming that rent will rise. How will rent rise?
For one, if property prices are lowered where first home buyers can afford their own house... that will take away the demand for rental properties. Lower demand generally mean lower prices.
Second, if property prices are lowered, property investor does not need to increase the rent and would still get the same or higher rental yield.
Most importantly, aren't we supposed to be in love with free market and self-reliance and hardwork and all that? So what's with these welfare cheques to property investors in the form of capital gains reduction, negative gearing and all that?
If we're to cut a welfare cheque to anyone, shouldn't it be for politicians and poor people, first and second?
I wonder if he is actually getting it right?It's more because even Right Wing rednecks can recognise muppets when they see them.

Investor costs would increase so rents get jacked. I don't see them imposing negative gearing changes on current investors -who would raise rents regardless.
We should be giving opportunities for the poor to get ahead, but for those that truly want it. The others will be poor no matter how much you throw at them.
Poms were taking advantage of it as well.457 Visa to be scrapped at urging of Pauline Hanson by twisting the LNP's arm ....hooray we don't have to learn Indian as a second language ...perhaps
