Do some research!
‘Partygate” is no more, the bad operator who allowed the parties in Melbourne has closed down.If you think short-term lets are warts on the face of residential apartment living and it’s time the government and local councils got together with the CTTT and burned them off, you should find another profession.
If there was no problem do you think the City Of Melbourne would be spending tens maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars to eradicate it?
I live in Australia a democracy not some dictatorship that forces developers to build specific buildings for the fly-by-night tenants or did you mean people who prefer to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel, because they have a choice.
Maybe you should do some basic research – like looking up the word “democracy”, for a start. Your idea of a democracy is where the vast majority of owners in an apartment block don’t want short-term lets but they can’t stop them because a few greedy bastards have found a loophole in the law that allows them to exploit their neighbours while destroying their peace and quiet.
Then you have the temerity to squeal when the loophole is closed, allowing the majority to prevail.
What kind of democracy is it when the vast majority of residents have to put up with all the crap from “the few” short-term tenants?
And if there is such a huge demand for short-term rentals why wouldn’t you build special blocks for them?
But that would defeat the point, wouldn’t it? You like well-maintained buildings where the excessive wear and tear of your high-rent tenants is shared by all the people who have to pay for the privilege of having them running riot in their homes.
Wrap yourself in your Aussie flag if you like, it still doesn’t give you the right to destroy other people’s homes in the name of making a quick buck. That’s not democracy – it’s stratafascism.
