GCJ Builders goes into liquidation: Melbourne-based company collapses
A southeast Melbourne builder has collapsed owing half a million dollars to creditors, after it was involved in a legal dispute and suspended by a building regulator. GJC Builders Victoria, based in Cranbourne, entered liquidation at the end of June. It owed 20 creditors $514,944, according to reports. They included the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), to which the company owed $167,709. The company also owes $7,298 to Allianz Australia in workers compensation, $8,827 to Bunnings, and $1,492 to Westpac.

Public-private pain: buying back Sydney's embattled Northern Beaches hospital faces uncertain prognosis
Just before the New South Wales parliament rose for the winter break, an unusual piece of legislation passed through both chambers late in the evening. It aimed to strengthen the arm of the Minns government in its negotiations to return the Northern Beaches hospital (NBH) to public ownership by threatening changes to the terms of the contract with its private partner, Healthscope. NBH is the only public-private partnership (PPP) in NSW where public hospital services, including emergency care, are delivered by the private sector. The Labor government, a staunch critic of PPPs, has vowed it would not enter any such deals in the future. To underscore its stance, it has now passed legislation banning PPPs to deliver acute care. After years of mounting debt and a string of complaints about care standards – including a toddler dying in a chair while waiting hours for care and a woman whose baby died in childbirth because an emergency caesarean was offered too late – the hospital went into receivership in May. Untangling its private components from its public ones and settling the terms of the government's buyback are proving painful. The PPP was put in place by the previous Coalition government in 2013, despite a similar failed experiment by the Greiner government at Port Macquarie hospital almost two decades before. The Minns government had resisted earlier calls to buy back NBH, but it has now been forced into action after Healthscope's collapse, with debt of $1.6bn. Local MPs and staff at the hospital had long been sounding the alarm about the impact of the financial incentive for profit on patient care. The independent Wakehurst MP, Michael Regan, has campaigned for a government buyback, proposing legislation that would return the hospital to public hands with no compensation at all. With the financial future of a hospital serving more than 370,000 residents on Sydney's northern beaches uncertain, the government has concluded a buyback is its only option. It is adamant, however, that it does not want to pay a 'windfall gain' and so supported the amended legislation. The Northern Beaches hospital continues to operate normally with a financial lifeline from the Commonwealth Bank, while a government-appointed taskforce negotiates with Healthscope's receivers, McGrathNicol. Progress, however, has been slow. The parties have not reached agreement over the price or exactly what it is that the government is going to buy. One of the problems is that the private and public components at NBH are closely integrated, unlike some other hospitals, where the private facilities are often housed in a separate building with its own services. NBH has separate wards, but many services – such as theatres, nursing staff, cleaning, , X-ray, pharmacy and pathology – are shared, with several operated by third-party private companies. The building itself had also been sold to a property trust, which leases it back to Healthscope, adding further layers of complexity. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email The cost of building the hospital was well north of $1bn, with the government contributing $600m at the time. A report in 2015 said the total cost to taxpayers – for the building and for Healthscope providing the public hospital beds over the life of the contract to 2038 – was $2.14bn. Healthscope also has rights to operate the private component until 2046. But is it a lucrative deal or not? It was revealed in a scathing independent report by the NSW auditor general, Bola Oyetunji, released in April that Healthscope was anxious to exit from running the public hospital part of NBH and had made two offers to the government to sell in 2023. The special legislation passed in late June arguably tips the scales in the government's favour by making it clear that receivership is a breach and starts the clock ticking on a resolution. 'If a mutual agreement is not reached, the amendments would give the health minister the power to issue a termination notice to Healthscope,' the treasurer, Daniel Mookhey, said in a statement. 'In addition, the treasurer would have the power to ensure that compensation negotiations occur in a reasonable time frame and to appoint an independent person to determine compensation if agreement cannot be reached.' Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion But the approach by the government has drawn criticism from business and the opposition (which ultimately supported the bill) on the grounds that it amounts to retrospective alteration of a contract and raises the question of sovereign risk for future investors in NSW. For the time being, the receivers and the taskforce appointed by the government are back at the table. A spokesperson for Mookhey said they are looking for a quick resolution. The government has a pot of money available for the buyback of the hospital. The 2025-26 budget revealed unallocated funds of $860m. It could all go smoothly or it could end in the courts. 'We are continuing to engage in constructive discussions with the NSW government on the future ownership of Northern Beaches hospital,' Healthscope said in a statement. 'Given the government's policy position against further public-private partnerships in the health sector, we believe this is in the best interest of the Northern Beaches hospital staff, patients and wider community.' There have been serious questions about NBH's ability to provide reliable healthcare since it opened in 2018. Staff reported shortages of basic supplies and an inefficient IT system where records were divided over several databases. Some teething problems were resolved early on, but staff continued to be concerned about the tensions between profit and patient care. The auditor general's April report confirmed critics' concerns, finding the PPP 'creates tension between commercial imperatives and clinical outcomes'. It found the hospital had failed to act on warnings about risks to patient safety and outcomes, and its electronic medical record systems 'present quality and safety risks', which Healthscope and the government's Northern Sydney Local Health District had known about since the hospital opened in 2018. In 2019, Healthscope was bought by a Canadian private equity firm Brookfield. High levels of debt intensified Healthscope's financial pressures and resulted in more concerns about how the PPP was operating. At the same time, the private hospital sector was at war with private insurers over a reduction in payout amounts for in-hospital care, which added to financial pressures. NBH – or at least its public hospital operations – will be returned to public ownership. The more likely outcome is that the government will buy the whole hospital, though this is not certain. It hopes the sale can be resolved quickly – and without blowing the budget. That will be welcomed by nurses who want to be employed on the same terms as their colleagues working in government-owned hospitals, including better patient ratios. For patients on the northern beaches, there will hopefully be an improvement in services, though Healthscope insists it already performs well compared with other similar hospitals. One of the big changes is likely to be the types of operations offered at NBH. At the moment, more complex cases are channelled to the Royal North Shore hospital under opaque policies put in place by the Northern Sydney Local Health District. With the same ownership, there will be less incentive for this practice to continue.

Great job, good education, no home: is Australia's bloated property market destroying the middle class?
Ross Hamilton spends his work days in a laboratory developing treatments for fibrosis. At home, he sets aside as much time as possible to be with his partner, their four-year-old daughter and their baby boy, who was born just a few weeks ago. The 43-year-old is well educated, works in a cutting-edge industry and is part of a dual-income household. But despite this, the couple cannot afford a family home anywhere near his Sydney workplace or prospective schools as property prices increase at a faster pace than the family can save for a deposit. 'It's just capitalism gone crazy. A house is no longer a domicile. It's an investment, and it's pushed people out who just happened to be born later. That's all it is,' says Hamilton. 'There's a huge population now that had a bit of wealth years ago, and they bought property, and then it's gone up dramatically since then. 'I don't blame the players. I blame the game.' Backed by favourable tax arrangements, property has been such a lucrative moneymaker over the past quarter century that affordability has deteriorated faster in Australia than in almost every other comparable country. While the Reserve Bank held rates steady at its last meeting, borrowing costs have been falling this year, and there are expectations of more interest rate cuts to come, adding momentum to property prices. Home prices in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin are at peak levels, while Melbourne and Hobart are also rising. Investors who have already built up equity in their housing portfolios are routinely winning bidding wars against first home buyers in a tight market, expanding the wealth divide that is fraying relations between the generations. 'The reason why it's so frustrating is you are taught at a young age to get your education, get your career, and then at some point, you will be able to buy a home for your family,' says Hamilton, who was born in Ireland, studied overseas, and then came to Australia through a program designed to build the country's research capabilities. 'I've worked hard, I have a PhD, I've got a career in a leading industry, and yet, despite all that, I still can't get to that next level. 'It's out of reach entirely.' There have been some curious changes in the rental market in recent months, with some city suburbs recording falling rents even as property prices take off again. While this trend might sound like a positive development to address cost-of-living pressures, it does come at a cost. Anne Flaherty, a senior economist at REA Group, says investors are targeting the same sorts of properties as owner-occupiers leading to an influx of new rentals in sought-after locations. 'It makes sense that if there's more investors, that increases the total supply of rental properties,' says Flaherty. 'The flip side of that, of course, is that it's increasingly hard for people to transition from becoming renters to owner-occupiers and they are kept in the rental market.' Over the past five years, investors have increased their share of new home loans from 28% to 37%, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics data, while owner-occupier levels have fallen. The change is in keeping with longer-term trends, given the proportion of housing stock owned by investors has been rising for decades. 'It's got to the point where there's such great incentives to invest in property, it's cannibalising the owner-occupier market,' says Michael Fotheringham, the managing director at the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute. 'It becomes easier to buy your second, your third, your fourth property than it is your first one.' Those incentives have left many people clambering to get on to the property market, with strategies like 'rent-vesting' (whereby a person rents one property while buying a more affordable one elsewhere) now seen as normal in Australia. Australian house prices started to decouple from wages in the late 1980s, before a surge in the 90s and early 2000s propelled the country into an epoch of unaffordable housing that is only getting worse. The Howard-era decision to halve the rate of capital gains tax made dwellings even more attractive to investors, while a string of state and federal governments failed to plan for supply shortages. Investors have also taken full advantage of negative gearing, which allows the owner of an investment property to deduct the interest payments and other costs against their income. While Labor under Bill Shorten tried to tilt the tables in favour of owner-occupiers by tightening negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount, the measures proved unpalatable to many voters. The policies, which were never implemented, were also designed to push investors towards new builds with the aim of increasing supply. Fotheringham says there are still feasible ways to curb tax incentives for investors, such as capping the number of properties that can be negatively geared. 'If you start to rein it in you could get it to a point where it's a controlled measure. At the moment, about half of all rental properties in this country are negatively geared; that was never the intent,' he says. 'It took us a long time to get into this hole, so it's going to take us a long time to get out of it.' Analysis by Treasury has found that nearly 40% of tax breaks to landlords went to the top 10% of earners. Many affordability advocates have given up on genuine tax reform in Australia and are instead focusing their attention on rental rights. The thinking is that by improving tenancy rights, investment properties become less appealing, freeing up stock for owner-occupiers. This would also make renting a more enticing option for households, as it is in some other countries such as Germany where many households prefer to rent. Housing pressures are building across the country, with Adelaide, once known as one of the country's most affordable cities, now among the least accessible for prospective homeowners with the city's dwelling value to income ratio sitting at 9, according to Cotality data. Sydney remains the most unaffordable among Australian state capitals, with that ratio at 9.8. First home owners have been largely locked out of the market this year, according to Equifax analysis of mortgage demand, due to high property prices. While there is an expectation that falling interest rates and upcoming government measures – including Labor's policy to allow first time buyers to purchase with a 5% deposit – will entice more owner-occupiers into the market, they could be entering with home values at extreme levels. Government plans to support the construction of 1.2m homes and 55,000 social and affordable homes by June 2029 are also behind schedule. Hamilton says he fears the gulf between the generations may be too great to ever rein in. 'Whenever you've incentivised this kind of behaviour with negative gearing, and tax incentives, it totally would make sense to do it. Everyone wants to feather their nest as best they can, but it's just got to a point now where I don't even know if it can roll back,' he says. 'I just want to buy something that we want to live in, and just be at peace with it, but the middle class is gone.'
