First they taxed your gas. Now they want to tax your bedrooms.

Australia is toying with the idea of pushing a “Spare Bedroom Tax” — punishing homeowners simply for having an extra room. Families keep spare bedrooms for kids, elderly parents, or guests — but now bureaucrats want to decide how much space you’re “allowed” before they make you pay. And here’s the warning: Canada almost always follows Australia on global policy trends — lockdowns, carbon taxes, gun bans, digital IDs. With vacancy taxes already in Toronto, Vancouver, and Ottawa, how long before Ottawa or Queen’s Park comes for your home? This isn’t housing reform. It’s government control — straight into your living room.
