economist and former Director of Research at Prosper Australia, where he led an innovative research and reform agenda over 18 years. His work focused on the role of speculative investment and its impact on housing affordability. In his role at Prosper, Karl directed the Speculative Vacancy reports series for over 14 years. This led to the establishment of the Victorian Vacancy Tax, which the UN Special Rapporteur favourably referenced.<\/span><\/p><p>Karl also played a pivotal role in advocating for Victoria\u2019s Rezoning Windfall Gains Tax. This was introduced to return rezoning profits back to communities for vital infrastructure, including public transport and schools.
