Key housing groups ‘bizarrely’ excluded from Queensland’s housing crisis summit

PIPA and the Property Investors Council of Australia said their requests to attend Queensland’s housing summit went unanswered for weeks before being rejected on the eve of the event. PIPA’s chair called the exclusion baffling given landlords supplied most rental housing in the state, and pointed to survey findings that 29 per cent of investors were weighing a sale because of tenancy law changes. She said about 162,000 Queensland rentals had been lost in two years.
