I certainly have no idea what the political situation looks like in AUS, but I do think that in Canada it was a very common tactic used by NIMBYs to complain about some capitalist boogieman developer getting fat off profits from housing developments. And yes, there absolutely are bad capitalist actors, but when it comes to building housing, this was a boogieman and nothing more. So I can totally believe an article like this would get written here and by the same organisations.
