With rents increasing 7 times faster than wages, and millions locked out of the housing market, Australia is in the middle of a massive housing crisis.
Labor’s plan abandons renters and will see the housing crisis get worse. Labor is supporting unlimited rent increases, during one of the worst rental crises we’ve ever seen.
They are actively leaving people behind.
But we know pressure works. After months of enormous campaigning from the Greens and the community, Labor backflipped and agreed to $3 billion of direct and immediate funding for public and community housing.
There are a lot of renters, first home buyers, mortgage holders and their families who are angry at Labor and the Liberals for only offering more of the same. That's why the Greens have a plan.
Our plan to fix the housing crisis:
- Immediately freeze and cap rent increases through National Cabinet.
- Phase out the unfair tax handouts like negative gearing and capital gains tax discount.
- Invest billions in building hundreds of thousands of good quality homes through a public property developer.
All of this is possible. There's absolutely no reason why we can't give everyone a home they can afford, but it's going to take all of us.
Sign the petition calling on Labor to agree to the Greens demands for a better housing plan.
