Tip of the iceberg when it comes to examining the corruption of land ownership in Australia. It’s hardly talked about. The linked article doesn’t even talk about it.

The public as a whole (and traditional owners) should be the only financial beneficiaries of rezoning.

I suspect private maximisation of rezoning profits is the reason behind why urban developments here are almost universally that awful single-story no-greenspace roof-to-roof packed suburban hellscape.

Land squatting and cock blocking public infrastructure for personal gain is pretty low on my sympathy list.
