More than half of international students are being exploited by landlords operating in the"wild west" of Australia's rental market, a new study has found.

Those living in shared housing were most likely to be victims of exploitative practices such as having their rent almost doubled during an exam period. Ms Farbenblum said she was surprised students who waited until they arrived to find somewhere to live were just as likely to be deceived as those who arranged it from their home country.

Do the maths: Aussie kids’ skills decliningThe maths skills of Australian students have slid back at least a year compared to their international counterparts, a new report says. Until they cut the ultra-left wing bullshit out of schools, standards will keep falling. A premium is placed on accommodating ADHD brats and autistic kids in mainstream classes. The teachers spend all their time managing them. More discipline & more focus is needed. auspol Pay attention politicians. You, not the teachers, are ultimately responsible for education standards, good or bad. Make schools academic again and then any spare time can be spent on other activities. Bring back home work.

RBA 'electrified the housing market' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian newspaper's economics editor Adam Creighton says “the Reserve Banks seems to have electrified the housing market”.\n\nMr Creighton told Sky News all the state capitals advanced in November, and “Sydney saw a 2.6 per cent increase in one month, which is the fastest increase in more than 30 years”.\n\nThe economics editor said it is worth pointing out “the house price increases are based on very low turnover still, and turnover in the housing markets is in a 30-year low”.\n\n“While the three rate cuts don’t seem to have much effect on business investment or household consumption just yet, they certainly have had a big impact on house prices”, he said. \n\nImage: Getty
