      Yes but if it’s someone moving up from interstate or a young adult moving out of their parents’ home, then it’s still one less property available for rent than before, with the same number of renters looking for somewhere to live, which was my point.

      There are thousands of people every week moving into QLD from interstate, and far fewer leaving. All those people have to live somewhere, and if they buy up all the rentals that are being sold so they can live in them themselves, where are those renters going to live?
