		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an opinion page on the ABC News page about the increasing rise in house prices (and the subsequent fall in housing affordability).

		<description><![CDATA[One of my coworkers tossed out this line today: &#8220;We can&#8217;t just increase the minimum wage, because that would cause inflation&#8221;. I said at the time that didn&#8217;t have to be the case, and I just thought I&#8217;d capture my reasoning in writing.
