In the main draw entry list released by Tennis Australia he is out, that's because Dennis Novak is ranked 117 in the world and the cutoff is 108, instead he is on 9th on the Alternate List.

Seems like there's a pretty decent menu of levers here for the government to choose from if they wanted to lower the price of housing:
- Remove negative gearing
- Raise home loan interest rates
- Cap/limit on max number of properties owned per person (1 PPOR + 1 IP/holiday home)
- Remove tax breaks / CGT discounts for investment properties unless new build
- Higher density zoning & construction in desirable urban areas/near train stations
- Stricter punishments for those lying on loan applications/approving "liar loans"
- Create better/faster public transport links
- Tax breaks/incentives for businesses to establish offices in regional areas
- Restrictions on ownership of Australian property by non-residents
- Stricter cap on debt-to-income ratios on home loans
- Add PPOR to pension asset means test
- Relax zoning laws/restrictions
- Timing rules for more frequent land releases by developers
- Stricter regulations for better build quality of apartments
- Abolish stamp duty in favour of land tax to increase liquidity in market
- Builders incentivised to create more medium density to flesh out the "missing middle" (more decent townhouses/terrance style builds with small yards, etc.)
- Companies permanently accommodating Work from Home jobs
- Reducing % of CGT paid on shares/stocks to encourage productive investment vs. property
- Apartments better designed with pet owners in mind (communal lawns/parks, soundproofed walls, etc)
- Further investment into/creation of "satellite cities" connected by high speed rail
... any others missing that could be added to the list? Or commentary on unintended economic side-effects some could/would have?
Edit: additions from suggestions below:
- increased construction of social housing
- greater proliferation of 'build-to-rent' accommodation
- levies for unoccupied investment properties
- more favourable rules / rights for renters
- land prices to be included in CPI calculations
- scale stamp duty based on # of properties purchased
- provide greater incentives/easier processes for retirees to downsize
(also note I'm not necessarily in favour of any of these in particular, they are just actions that theoretically could be taken to lower property prices)
And before anyone mentions it, can we just assume that we're all familiar with "Fatty: The Strife and Times of Paul Vautin", so perhaps we can focus on some of the other Aussie Must Reads.

I'm working on a research assignment at school for economics, and one of the questions is asking when Australia experienced recessions and depressions during the period 1901 to 2010. I cannot find anything which provides any answers, I've come to this subreddit for help.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)
> The Morrison government has released an update to Australia's cornerstone policy to protect the Great Barrier Reef as it tries to stop the ocean icon being placed on a list of world heritage sites in danger.
> Environment groups said the updated Reef 2050 plan, released without fanfare late on Monday, fell short because it was linked to the government's "Inadequate" plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
> A foreword to the plan, co-signed by the federal environment minister, Sussan Ley, and Queensland's minister for the Great Barrier Reef, Meaghan Scanlon, said the reef is under threat from marine heatwaves that caused three mass bleaching events in 2016, 2017 and 2020.The ministers wrote: "These events, combined with other major impacts to the reef, have affected the communities and industries that depend on it for their livelihoods and way of life."
> Richard Leck, head of oceans at WWF Australia, said: "This new plan shows the Australian government is failing to do all it can to keep the future of the reef as safe as possible, especially from climate change."The plan prioritises limiting the impacts of climate change by contributing to global efforts to reduce emissions.
> Simon Miller, a spokesperson for the Australian Marine Conservation Society, said: "The climate crisis is by far the biggest threat to our reef, so the lack of ambition detailed in the Reef 2050 Plan to tackle this issue is disgraceful.
> Queensland's Department of Environment and Science said in a statement the state government had "Delivered much stronger protection for the reef - banning dredge spoil dumping, enacting new pollution regulations, land clearing laws and new net free zones."
