Try 12ft.io if you’re having issues reading. This really underscores the utter failure of Victoria’s affordable housing model - well, unless you’re an housing developer - and it should be ringing alarm bells that the current intention is to repeat the model nationally.

The one good thing about these policies is they are bypassing a lot of council regulations to increase supply but the "affordable" rentals are probably pretty marginal benefit and it's likely just low income kids who's parents are supporting them.
