Government urged to take heat out of housing market

The Northern Territory Chamber of Commerce says rising house prices are contributing to Darwin's high inflation rate.
The latest consumer price index (CPI) shows Darwin's inflation rate this year is 3.7 per cent, 2 per cent more than Sydney and Adelaide.
Chamber of Commerce spokesman Chris Young says a shortage of available land for development is not helping.
"We're asking the Government to accelerate the release," he said.
"They've got a number of planned releases over the next couple of years.
"Our concerns are that they maybe need to accelerate those a little bit to try and take a little bit of heat out of the market."
