if a job requires more than a 30min commute from the region my actual life occurs in, I ask for more money or look for another job.

I don’t read AFR but a workmate sent me this because we’ve been talking about short stays and rentals and it’s a laugh, good on them for for publishing this without a satire tag." ‘I’m not rich, I’m a single mum’: Airbnb tax hits property owners posted:Leanne Taylor is a single mum of two teenagers who uses Airbnb to help her stay ahead of rising interest rates, higher energy bills and more expensive groceries.

The AFR is weird, I used to read it because it was the only newspaper we got delivered at work. 99% of it would be stuff like that, just fawning coverage of rich arseholes. Then you'd get to the last page and there's Joe Aston just skewering the same rich arseholes with some of the most devastating invective you've ever seen and getting the paper sued all the time.

putting aside the debate about whether or not owning two houses and a time share counts as rich or not im astounded by the sheer lack of integrity to report this as her paying an extra tax when its a consumer facing tax that will likely have no real impact on demand

Yeah, I used to subscribe to the AFR because if you follow the money, sometimes it tells you a lot more about the motivations of one move or another (way more than say an opinion piece or news report in the Australian or Guardian for example) but your summary is so very true. The fawning got so tiresome I dropped the subscription.

Right, thanks AFR for that point of view. The rental market in Melbourne is hosed and I know this tax won’t fix it, I’d been sort of outside it being in a long term rental but I’m looking to move and everything is more than I want to pay. I’m lucky because I’m on decent money so I can afford it but I keep looking further and further out to find something in a reasonable price range; I’m possibly moving down Geelong way - which would be nice because I have family there.

Is she actually a single mom? Or just divorced. Because that's an entirely different situation. Is the Dad actually a deadbeat and not involved, or dead?

And to be clear, the "network" I was referring to above is a lot more decentralised and a lot less mysterious than "the illuminati"

I figure since I’m going to be overpaying almost anywhere I go I might as well go somewhere I want to be - I actually want to move to somewhere like Dimboola, or generally far away from Melbourne and crowds but the workplace is ramping up the pressure on return to the office.

I hate conspiracy theories so god drat much. Literally everything political has some sort of crazy loving theory trying to dismantle it. The voice isn't really that powerful, it's typical Labor through and through but holy drat all these communism by stealth ect things about it... Where is the return to normalcy? When are people gonna snap out of it? Surely people just get bored of the endless rabbit hole. It cannot be that engrossing.
