  2. <they could pass legislation to regulate rentals.> And watch rental supply shrink with rising prices for whatever remains and a near 0% vacancy rate. <Most of the homeless people are Australians that have been forced out of the market due to greedy landlords.> No. They got driven out of the market by both locals and foreigners who are willing and able to pay the market rate. Housing especially in a desirable locale like Sydney is a privilege, not a right.

  16. <It also has to do with inner city apartments being empty and being owned by overseas owners who don't even rent them out. > Maybe because they're condemned awaiting renovation/demolition or they rather leave them empty as it's more cost-effective to do that than rent to a bad tenant they cannot legally evict in a timely manner due to the lopsided rental laws in favor of tenants.
