Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Michal Kerr, Mayor of Douglas Shire, about efforts to control the rental market from being taken over by short-term holiday letting, such as Airbnb. This comes after the Brisbane City Council has announced it will increase the rates on Airbnb-style properties up to 50% in order to retain the accommodation needed for long-term tenants. Port Douglas has been facing this issue which has led to a rental crisis and a dearth of available workers.
