New incentive scheme for property owners to fill empty homes

More cash for property owners to put vacant properties on the rental market, so they can have sky high rents as well.

I love Rit Saffioti's comment "Out of the box", please, this is very much in the box thinking. Boost owner class in the hope some might see fit to do what you want with their excess capital, meanwhile sell it as a great initiative to the renter class that is bound to help them.

If a cash splash is a must, then go find 1000 of the poorest renters in the state, and hand them $5000 cash, see charities like 'Give Directly'. It will do more good than this arse-scratchin policy.
