Like I said .. its nothing to do with the govt whether they choose to increase rent and contribute to CPI
please show us the legislation whereby the govt forces individuals to increase rents
There is no law, no decree, no legislation, no edict, no order, no instrument that states 'Landlords must increase rent'
we live in a free country thankfully
the responsibility for the rent component of CPI is solely apportionable to Australian Landlords it is measured along with material cost of materials in building as the other component in the category known as 'housing' in the CPI basket
the excuses landlords use for increasing rent are not measured as part of the CPI
landlords increase rent = increasing the 'rent' component of the 'housing' in the CPI
no one gives a toss why they do it all that matters is that the govt is responsible for voluntary decisions made in self interest
