Greens policy – to stop handouts to property moguls by limiting negative hearing to one property – is getting the backing of some Labor rank and file.
But the PM has ruled it out this afternoon.
It’s a shame –
because if we scrap tax handouts for landlords and wealthy property investors with more than one home, we could fund an incentive for states to implement a two year rent freeze, build publicly-owned housing and double rent assistance for 1.4 million students, single parents, pensioners, people with disabilities, families and those looking for work.The Greens are fighting to fix the rental crisis.
