Backing renters, first home buyers & stressed mortgage holders
In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should have a secure home. But despite this, millions of us face soaring rents and unaffordable mortgages.
As people struggle, Labor and the Liberals are giving $176 billion in tax handouts to wealthy property investors, and they're backed by the banks and developers profiting from the housing crisis.
The rest of us don't stand a chance.
The Greens have delivered billions for social and community housing, and now, with the balance of power in the Senate, this parliament has the opportunity to go even further.
Together, we can stop unlimited rent increases, build public housing, and make homeownership fairer.
Our plan to tackle the housing crisis
The Greens are fighting for transformative solutions that put people first—building homes at prices people can afford and making housing a right, not a privilege.
- Stop unlimited rent increases: Limit increases to 2% every two years.
- Bring down mortgages: Regulate the banks to deliver fairer, lower mortgages.
- Phase out tax handouts going to wealthy property investors with more than one investment property – including negative gearing & the capital gains tax discount.
- Build public & affordable homes: A government-owned developer to build good quality homes sold and rented at a price you can afford.
- Renters Protection Authority: Establish a National Renters Protection Authority to enforce renters’ rights.

Together, we can fix it.
FROM THE COMMUNITY.
FOR THE COMMUNITY.
ALWAYS.
The Greens don’t take corporate donations. We can’t be bought, and we don’t sell out. Our community always comes first.
The major parties take millions in donations from big corporations to fund their election campaigns. And it shows.
Our people powered movement is taking on the two party system and changing politics for the better. Together we are powerful.
