Yeah. The article doesn't go into details whether vacancy is self reported and what enforcement looks like.

The cynic in me says this is a great political policy, but something foreign investors will sidestep with minimal effort.

Is it based on water consumption? Leave a tap dripping.

Is it based on electricity consumption? Leave a light on.

Is it based on garbage being collected? A friend takes your bins out once every couple of months.

I want these policies to work to better support Australians with more housing options, but I'm not convinced this is enough.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
