House price carcinoma

Then pass a law in New South Wales that says no dwelling with a backyard can be rented for more than five hundred dollars a week.

This would force rents down everywhere, and house prices down. If the current rule of thumb prevails, no Sydney mansion in Point Piper would cost more than $500,000 after a while, and your average hovel in Coogee with a backyard, probably, no more than $120,000. Wouldn't that be nice.

The list confirms a £950 donation had been made from Green, states his full Jersey address for the "purpose" of Electoral Commission registration, but questions its legality by stating: "Permissible?"

Days later, Alexander's campaign told the Electoral Commission that the donation had been made from a company called Combined Property Services, a claim that proved to be false.

In another extraordinary development, the Sunday Herald can reveal an apparent attempt by the Alexander campaign to mislead the commission by "switching" the name of another individual listed as a donor.

The list names Moir Lockhead, the chief executive of transport giant First Group, in the "donor" section with a contribution of £995.
