Single parents bear the brunt of the rental crisis in regional Victoria
Only the one income in a household makes renting more difficult. Who would have thought it, eh?

Yesterday’s Times had an article about the best places in the UK to own an EV, which ‘revealed’ that people who have bought new EVs in the last 5 years are wealthier than average. It’s pretty damn obvious that anyone who’s bought a new car in the last 5 years (let alone new EVs) are wealthier than average. Can I get a job doing this ‘research’?
No, Chris, but you can marvel at how regressive all the net zero baloney is. People who can afford solar panels, and heat pumps, and EVs get subsidised by people who can’t.
Green socialism is an odd creature.

The new feudalism: landowners get to extract more rents from us than their greediest, serf-owning ancestors could have imagined, and don’t even have to produce food in return.
The upper middle class gets slightly cheaper green toys to play with to help disguise their declining living standards.
The great majority of proles gets threatened with owning nothing, and liking it. By their king, no less. Is King Charles still best pals with Klaus Schwab? Maybe he can be king of Davos.
Landlords are not universally stupid. If the risk of redundancy is r% then the chance of a single-earner household defaulting on rent due is r/100 but the chance of a two-earner household defaulting is [1-(1-r/100)x(1-r/100)] whichis significantly lower. That is*before* one factors in the chance of loss of earnings while Mum takes time off work to cope with childhood illnesses.
There may be a case for landlords subsidising single mothers but it is a religious one not an economic one.
@John77, is it the chance of getting a shag from the rent defaulter?
