If you knew anything about the history of Melbourne you would know that the area in question was the former site of the Melbourne cattle yards because it’s on a FLOOD plain.. it has flooded many times in the last 100 years, but that doesn’t fit your narrative 🤡🤡

Inflation is the creation of monetary policy. Specifically during the pandemic $500B was released into AU monetary supply, The RBA kept interest rates too low for too long and too slow to react to inflation in late 2020.
