The REIQ says the Albanese Government’s announcement that housing ministers will develop a plan to strengthen renters’ rights nation-wide later this year, is yet another swipe at property investor confidence in a State still reeling from relentless rental reforms. While the national renters’ rights plan announcement lacked detail, the REIQ is concerned that the Government has bowed down to pressure from the Greens and could signal yet another nail in the coffin for property investment in Queensland. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said it was nonsensical to introduce nation-wide rental reforms on top of far-reaching, stage one rental reforms introduced in Queensland in October last year,Read More →

Irony: noun; the expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. I’ve got this mate, well, more a long term acquaintance really. Known her since I was in my teens. Purely platonic relationship over the past 40 years and we still catch up regularly to this day. She was pretty popular back in the day and had most of the local boys tied in knots. Even after 40 years she’s still a very attractive lady, super intelligent and very professional, at least to the casual observer. She’s had an interesting life and recently called me to seeRead More →

In the digital age, online reviews have become an important digital currency for hotels—the more you have, the stronger your online position. Savvy online travelers frequently make their decisions based on the recommendations of others, and 95% of people say they read reviews before making a booking. Of all the review sites out there, TripAdvisor is still widely regarded as number one. But things are changing. A number of review sites are now stepping up their prominence in the hotel space. The power of social media is also creating a shift in the way travelers seek out suggestions and tips to inform their booking decision. InRead More →

It’s been a bumpy ride, but the NBN looks like it’s finally approaching the home straight. According to NBN Co’s latest Corporate Plan, 2018 will be its biggest year for installations. Combined with the 2017 financial year, they predict almost 5 million additional connections nationwide, on track for a planned completion date of sometime in 2020-21. That’s great to hear, but the situation on the ground for most of us is one of confusion and frustration, especially for people living in or managing multi-dwelling units (MDUs). This guide aims to help explain the basics of the NBN in MDUs. If you have additional questions onRead More →

Your investment property could be at serious risk of damage with a new trend of tenants holiday letting rooms or the entire property through Airbnb on a per night basis. This can significantly increase the risk of damage and security of your property without the extra reward for you as the landlord. In other words your tenant could be making extra income from your property but you are wearing the risk. Legislation governing tenancy agreements is outdated as most of it was written before Airbnb existed. So you need to be proactive and start protecting yourself. Quick disclaimer first. I am not a lawyer soRead More →

Everyone (probably) knows that there are a maximum of seven voting committee positions for a committee formed under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (BCCM Act).  These are the chairperson, the secretary, the treasurer and then four ‘ordinary’ committee positions. The question that sometimes arises is what each of these people are responsible for. It is quite interesting (and perhaps that’s just the lawyer in us) in terms of what most committees fall back to as a default position as against what the BCCM Act actually prescribes. Those default positions are not necessarily the legislative requirements. The first distinction to draw is between executive committeeRead More →

As regular readers of this column will know the managing director and I don’tmind a bit of travel, preferably of the comfortable variety. As such I write thismonth’s missive from the Matild Palace hotel in Budapest, as one does. Thehotel is every bit as pleasant as the name suggests and I find myselfensconced in the breakfast room, looking out over a winter wonderland ofhistoric buildings and snow.I should be happy, but I’m not. In fact, I suspect this will be our last suchjourney with future adventures confined to our native land and perhaps theoccasional foray to the Land of the Long White Cloud. On aRead More →

Welcome to 2026. What an unbelievable start to the year – fires, cyclones, floods, an Ashes series win, and Academy Award (The Oscars) nominations for Australian artists. You must be an optimist in the first month. We need to believe that the future can be better than the past. So, make 2026 an adventure – optimism plus volatility. It will not be a set and forget year. What do I think will happen in 2026? I mentioned a few topics in my column in the Christmas Edition newsletter. I had a quick read to see if anything changed between December and now – the worldRead More →

Welcome to AGR’s October 2025 Insights Newsletter. For this month, we have focused our Insights on the SME Business sector, with our articles covering Payday Superannuation and cash-flow management strategies. The RBA will most likely not cut rates at their Melbourne Cup Day meeting in November. Key inflation data (core inflation) just released came in at 0.9% which for the RBA is way too high. Next chance of a cut is February 2026. An interest rate cut seemed on the cards when the labour market numbers for September were reported a couple of weeks back. The unemployment rate surged to 4.3% on the back on softer job growthRead More →
