    I was hoping for more of an official ATO link.

      Why would the ATO care? Purple Pingers’ list might actually help it become occupied.

        Vacancy tax.

  There are squatters networks if you wanted a different approach on that

    I’ll pass them onto pingers for the moment. Need to note down that actual addresses. There’s at least half a dozen places near me that’ve been vacant for more than a year.

  Southbank had residential high-rise buildings that were at least 60% empty ten years ago - and that’s being generous. It seemed like they were nearly empty. From the outside at 8 pm, there were barely any lights on to indicate the presence of people in there.

  They were owned by people overseas and kept in pristine condition to maintain a higher value. Is that still going on?

    IDK but probably. God dam richers.
