REA Group Chief Economist Nerida Conisbee says "it is looking far better for renters" now listings have begun to drop, "which is good for the market". "We are seeing a strong shift to premium suburbs around Australia," she said.
"The earliest signs of distress in the property market at the outset of national coronavirus lockdowns was the rapid increase in rental listings on realestate.com.au." "It was partly driven by many AirBnB properties moving to long-term rentals; there were a lot of students moving back home to their families," she said. Image: News Corp Australia

Pauline Hanson's High Court case is 'clearly a stunt': Canavan | Sky News AustraliaNationals Senator Matt Canavan says Pauline Hanson's high court case against the Queensland government is 'clearly a stunt and clearly an attempt to grab headlines'.\n\nMs Hanson has been calling for Queensland tourism operators to join the suit as plaintiffs arguing the state's strict border closures violates Section 92 of the Australian Constitution.\n\nThe Constitution recognises 'trade, commerce, and intercourse among the states, whether by means of internal carriage or ocean navigation, shall be absolutely free'.\n\nThe case will not only argue the border closures' illegality under Section 92 of the constitution but also under Section 117 which says 'a state shall not make or enforce any law abridging any privilege or immunity of citizens of other States of the Commonwealth'.\n\nSenator Canavan told Sky News host Paul Murray he believes in the states and while he disagrees with the border restrictions given the current conditions it is a 'well established right for public health reasons to restrict the movement' of people and produce.\n\n'I don't want to see the rights of state governments - which have already been diminished massively by the high court - I don't want to see them more centralised in Canberra'.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
