What do car-parks have to do with Australia's housing crisis? More than you'd think.
Mandatory parking rules are adding as much as $137,000 to the price of a typical two-bedroom apartment.

“It's like handing out drought relief without checking which farms had too little rain.”
Peter Breadon and Molly Chapman from @GrattanInst show that the way the govt pays GP clinics simply doesn't work in ‘GP deserts’.

The @GrattanInst verdict on the fuel excise cut:
Not as terrible as some economic commentators suggest.
But shouldn’t become embedded in our policy response to the oil shock.
And the long-term solution is to move to an electrified economy.

Don’t panic at the pump.
Our energy expert @tony_r_wood says that while losing 20 per cent of oil supply affects prices, the other 80 per cent is unaffected by the war.

.@BrendanCoates has made some of the most important contributions to public discussion of housing policy.
He will be greatly missed.
As partial compensation, we can be confident the government will be getting sensible, evidence-based advice.

If Australia had a Federal government interested in housing supply and affordability, it would be evaluating and comparing state government reforms.
Instead, we have to rely on 3 guys at @GrattanInst.
Check out this new effort by @AEI to score state housing bills by expected yield in new units.
Rhode Island's and Washington's come out on top.

‘The May budget needs to put more meat on the bones of how and when NDIS growth will be contained to between 5% and 6% – it’s a reasonable target, but it won’t materialise without a more ambitious plan.’
