Grounded is a not-for-profit organisation established to advocate, incubate and accelerate the development of CLTs in so-called Australia.

Hello and welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show with Rob and Eric. This episode features: An interview from Yeah Nah Pasaran on Thursday 8th August in which Cam and Andy speak with Aurelien Mondon (lecturer in politics at University of Bath, and co-convener of Reactionary Politics Research Network) about racist rioting in the UK and Belfast in the wake of the murders in Southport. You can catch Yeah Nah Pasaran, 4:30pm Thursdays on 3CR, and listen back the the full interview with Aurelien by heading to their program page. On Saturday the 16th of August between an estimated 150 people attended a counterprotest on the steps of the Victorian Parliament to disrupt an event held by TERF and founder of the Women's Action Group Michelle Uriaru. A heavy police presence asserted their dominance by preventing the counterprotesters, a group of trans people, allies, and anti-fascists, from getting too close to the crowd of transphobes. However, the counterprotesters were able to disrupt the event by not only outnumbering the terfs but also playing music which the counterprotesters would dance to. To help capture the moments of Queer and Trans Joy in the crowd at that counterprotest, Rob spoke to a few of its attendees. The first was recorded while the counterprotest was happening outside state parliament; the second was recorded at Fitzroy Park, where the TERFs were supposed to mobilize following their 'rally' but didn't for reasons unknown.On Monday 5th August, Karina sat down with Jeremy Poxon from the Australian Unemployed Workers Union, in Coburg Mall.They discuss the day's intended activities (leafletting Coburg's welfare recipients attending some of the area's worst-rated Job Service Providers), plus a look at the Govt Inquiry into Workforce Aus, so-called 'mutual' obligations, the AUWU's campaigns and initiatives around welfare rights, and more. The AUWU National Advocacy Hotline is open Monday to Friday 10 AM - 2 PM AEDT,Ph: (03) 9811 7064 or (freecall) 1800 289 848. To hear the full interview, catch Wednesday's City Limits show from 9 - 10AM. From the 8th to the 14th of September the biggest weapons expo in so-called Australia will take place at the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre. Its existence hasn't attracted much attention in the mainstream media, despite the fact that companies supporting genocides will be there. However, the planned disruption, as listeners will have undoubtedly heard about through announcements on 3CR, has. To speak more about the event and coverage of the planned disruption, Rob spoke with Nat Farah, an organiser for Disrupt Wars.Last week researched released by the Grounded Community Land Trust Advocacy provided insight into exactly how Airbnb is compounding housing shortages and pushing rental prices beyond the reach of people both across the globe and here in 'Australia'. To find out how the global conglomerate does so, Rob talked with Karl Fitzgerald, Managing Director of Grounded Community Land Trust Advocacy and former 3CR broadcaster. Songs played: 'Black Magic' - Baker Boy ft. Dallas Woods'Rebel Girl'  - Bikini Kill

Are short-term rental platforms like Airbnb contributing to the worsening of the housing affordability crisis by reducing the availability of long-term rental properties? This shift towards short-term rentals makes it increasingly difficult for people to find affordable homes, driving up rental prices and increasing housing instability for vulnerable populations. Join us as Karl Fitzgerald, founder and director of Grounded, brings his extensive research to the table. Karl talks about how Airbnb and similar platforms impact housing markets, particularly in regional areas, and offer insightful solutions based on his findings. Tune in to explore the intersection of short-term rentals and housing policy, and discover innovative community-driven solutions that could help address the housing crisis while balancing the needs of both tourists and residents. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:12 - Who is our guest for today? 06:04 - How Karl responded to the shift in rental proportions 07:50 - Is it possible to measure long-term rentals converted to short-term? 11:08 - Do short-term rental limits create property scarcity unintentionally? 17:37 - How does car-based and/or public transport influence short-term rental markets? 22:19 - How are communities still functioning when core workers can't find housing? 23:31 - Is the housing shortage phenomenon unique to Australia? 26:44 - Has the report's media attention resulted in any significant change? 28:39 - How does a community land trust work? 35:28 - Are community land trusts already operational in Australia? 44:18 - Karl Fitzgerald's property dumbo About Our Guest: Karl Fitzgerald, founder and Director of Grounded, is an economist with a distinguished background as the former Director of Research at Prosper Australia. Over 18 years, he led research on speculative investment and housing affordability, including directing the Speculative Vacancy reports that contributed to the Victorian Vacancy Tax. Karl also championed Victoria's Rezoning Windfall Gains Tax to reinvest rezoning profits into community infrastructure. His 2022 report challenged the belief that increasing housing supply alone improves affordability. Karl advocates for Community Land Trusts as a community-led alternative to current housing models, emphasizing equity and justice.

Our housing system is broken, but where do we look for different ways forward and a theory of change?Come and join me with economist Karl Fitzgerald from Grounded the new Community Land Trust Advocacy (and formerly of Prosper Australia ). Karl advocates that a saner future awaits when we focus on a community land housing solution that moves us away from the speculative drive and sprawl. He is dedicated to creating and sharing new models and developing housing futures that are intertwined with the permaculture movement. Listen throughout for how Karl cleverly describes this model of community land trusts through the language of permaculture principles, and describes a community-led `affordable housing option. So many possibilities presented.

About Karl Fitzgerald - Economist and Director of GroundedWelcome to The Room Xchange Podcast. I'm Ludwina Dautovic and today I have the pleasure of speaking with Karl Fitzgerald about Community Land Trusts.Karl Fitzgerald is an economist specialising in land economics and works as the Director of Grounded - the Community Land Trust advocacy body. He led Prosper Australia's research for 18 years. He is also Treasurer of the Malmsbury Village Fayre, a volunteer with the local farmers market and loves making rhubarb amaro.A message from our host - Ludwina DautovicThis conversation took me by surprise. I first met Karl Fitzgerald at a recent Prosper event. I'd never heard of Prosper before or the idea that land could be leased to build upon. Call me naive, but with the entire conversation in the media being about home ownership in Australia, it's a little hard to imagine there is another way.Karl and I go in depth about the process of Community Land Trusts. I used my lack of knowledge on the subject as a presupposition that the listeners might not have too much knowledge on it either.I hope you enjoy this episode.

Renegade economist Karl Fitzgerald explains how the traditional methods of evaluating residential vacancy rates are inaccurate and favour investors.
