@zalisteggall This is a national crisis capable of bringing the national economy to a grinding halt. Every renter is at extreme risk firstly from property agents promoting an easy rent increase to investors. My son is one on the firing line. No mercy given!
@JulieCollinsMP@terrimbutler Unfortunately, the average person who reads news can easily see that your policy is a fig leaf. As a Labor voter I applaud the Greens role in calling it out!
@JEChalmers@Lendlease Great budget, but doesn’t address the national housing crisis. For renters who face a less than 1% vacancy rate and no power to counter landlords, the situation is dire. My sole parent son at risk NOW!
@BelindaJones68 It’s not that the Greens don’t support good housing policy - it’s that in the current national housing crisis the policy is a fig leaf. Labor needs to address the crisis now!
@JasonClareMP@davidbewart Your housing policy will do nothing to help the housing crisis happening now. All renters are at risk when the vacancy rate is less than 1%. Try moving house competing with 40 other prospective tenants!
@zdaniel Unfortunately it’s a real factor in the current national housing crisis borne out of decades of policy neglect. A less than 1% vacancy rate puts all renters at risk. Moving becomes a high risk exercise. How will you help?
@SenatorWong A well considered longer term sustainable housing policy that does nothing to address the current national housing crisis. Less than 1% vacancy rate puts all renters at risk. Sadly it looks like Labor’s in denial.
@Mon4Kooyong Dutton is using migration fears in a context where it’s a real factor in a national housing crisis happening now. Seems like most pollies are pretending housing isn’t a critical issue. With a less than 1% vacancy rate all current renters are at extreme risk!
@SenKatyG@Greens Yes it’s a well intended longer term housing policy, but the national housing crisis needs strong leadership now. A marginal vacancy rate puts all renters at risk. No bargaining power - nowhere to go. How can you help?
@MurrayWatt@SenatorWong@SenKatyG The Greens are taking a stand against a fig leaf policy. What are you doing to lead on a national housing crisis happening now! Renters are at severe risk of being homeless and investors may be heading toward fire sales. And I’m a rusted on Labor voter.
@SenKatyG@Greens Their case is compelling. There’s a national housing crisis in play needing strong leadership. Your current proposal does nothing in the short term to address the problem. That is the only point to their play!! Deal with it.
@sussanley How stupid do you think we are? I’m a typical female parent with a typical final, median super balance at retirement. $250,000! Reliant on Age Pension for the bulk of my income - certainly not millions in my super fund. Time you researched your audience demographics.
@AmyRemeikis My very responsible, employed, sole parent son just avoided being homeless. Assumed he’d find something after months notice. Huge numbers at opens. Lots of proxy attendees. No luck! Negotiated own lease extension. Now has extra $80 per week rent. Extortion! A national crisis!
@DanTehanWannon Ridiculous Dan! They’ll be applauded for correcting a grievous wrong resulting from wedge politics by the previous LNP government. It was bad policy then, worse now. Australians want evidenced based economic policies, not ideological game playing at which your party excels.
@vanOnselenP@australian Trust is having adults in charge who can make decisions for the greater good. Good governance relies on timely choices based on current conditions. Stage 3 tax cuts was bad policy for an unknown future. Let’s see what 2023 brings before playing the wedge and blame game.
