Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Australia's mainland state capitals are ALL in the top 15 for cities worldwide with respect to housing unaffordability. There might be some discussion to be had on whether median or mean figures were used for this, but Australia has reached basket case level. These are not figures to be proud of.
