He explains what property developers really mean when they call for more supply in order to provide affordable housing. He shows why landlords and the real estate industry resist rent controls and why the tax and first home buyer policies of the main political parties achieve little for first home buyers. The hoaxes created by the Housing Cheer Squad hide the brutal truth: for every winner in the property market, there is a loser.\n\nFor anyone who wants to truly understand the housing market in Australia, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Housing Hijack\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading. Drawing on the best housing policies around the world, Murray shows how Australia could create a genuinely affordable housing programme without compromising the interests of existing property owners.\n\n'If you're not sure you believe the official story of why house prices and rents are so high, read this.' - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoss Gittins\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n'The only book you need to understand the giant con we have fallen for.

Mates in big corporations, industry groups, government departments, the halls of parliament and the media skew the system to suit each other. Corporations dodge taxes, so you pay more. You pay more for your house and higher interest rates on your mortgage, more for your medicines and transport, and more for your children's education and insurance, because the Mates take a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRigged\u003c\/em\u003e uncovers the pattern of political favours, grey gifts and information-sharing that has been allowed to build up over two decades.
