Victorian Opposition housing spokesman Evan Mulholland argued that state Labor’s tax settings had worsened Melbourne’s rental shortage, citing SQM Research figures showing advertised rentals had fallen from 12,713 in 2014 to 6,449. He pointed to PIPA findings that one in four investors had sold their Victorian holdings over the past year, and rejected Greens calls for rent controls as counterproductive.
