We’re counting down to the #Victorianelection on Nov 26 with 3 priorities for the next Government, as #renters face spiralling rents and short supply of rentals. The 1st one is a legislated ‘fairness formula’ to regulate rent rises.

Reflecting on and acknowledging the injustice experienced by Indigenous Australians, stolen from families and communities. We must all play a part in supporting the aspirations of Indigenous Australians. The healing is still unfinished. #SorryDay https://t.co/qAO0I6o7pu
This welcome legislation extends #rentalprotections until the end of March 2021: Victorian residential #tenants facing hardship in the pandemic are protected from #evictions if they fall behind on their rent and rental increases are banned for this extended period! #COVID19Vic
We’ve seen remarks from the real estate agents’ lobby - and we’re disappointed. Victoria HAS a fair scheme for renters facing loss of income to get a rent reduction. It’s a time when staying home - a sanctuary for most of us - is also about protecting health. #COVID19Vic
We know many ppl who are renting have lost jobs or hours: we urge Victorian renters facing hardship to go for rent reductions ASAP - there is process established, if the landlord agent does not agree you can go to Consumer Affairs Victoria. https://t.co/P5Roz1t16n… #COVID19Vic
