How many of these dwellings are available to rent long-term? The ABS definition is very broad:

A dwelling is a structure which is intended to have people live in it, that is it was established for short-stay or long-stay accommodation.

So AirBnB/Stayz/etc is a contributing problem.

Definitely, although my understanding is that even places like student accommodation and aged care homes contribute to that figure.
