00:00This year we looked at 51,238 properties, and once again we found that the state of the rental market in terms of affordability for people on low and even middle incomes is absolutely dire.
00:14Out of those 51,000 properties, not one was affordable for someone living on youth allowance.
00:22Only three, not 3%, but three was affordable for somebody on JobSeeker or rooms in share houses.
00:30And even when we look at the age pension, which is the more generous of the income support payments, we can see that only 0.7% of properties would have been affordable for a couple living on the age pension.
00:44Perhaps one of the more shocking figures this year is that even for people on the minimum wage, a single person working full-time on the minimum wage would only have been able to afford 0.7% of these properties.
01:00That really does show us that the rental market is not working.
01:04We've got black people and other properties, because of this kind of ihnen getting into account.
01:07There are people trying to decide where they are going.

01:14What we wish we had given them to the neck of the property of college is the type of property or thenuysian.

01:25The number 23,000 we already talked about the number of facilities families was the best managed to house users in models for one month.
