Government Accused Of Land Profiteering
Mr Fraser in a weekly radio broadcast accused the Commonwealth of cashing in on Canberra’s land and housing shortage. He cited a February valuation of £5 265 for a home, contrasted with £4 188 for a nearby house last July, arguing the sale price hid land premium and real costs. The interior minister responded that the valuation reflected market value and other factors, while Fraser urged transparency and warned that tenants face five years before selling without Commonwealth options.
