I caught the tail end of a news broadcast the night before last (i don't recall where, some mining town in West Australia) where a population of people are paying around $1,100.00 a week for rent of pretty standard 3 bedroom houses.
The story was rents were set to decrease, due to the mining companies plans to erect cheaper housing (like single mens quarters?), which caused some ire among local residents.
