Thank you Amy MacMahon – Greens MP for South Brisbane 👏 We hope that Qld Labor will do the right thing by Qlder renters today and implement our plan to freeze rents for the next two years, followed by a long-term rent cap, limited to 2% every two years 🤞
More from Amy:
The Palaszczuk Labor government’s announcement today to limit rent increases to just once per year – with no limit on the AMOUNT – is a slap in the face to the thousands of Queensland renters who were expecting real action from this government. For anyone on a 12-month lease, this policy is just the status quo – no change whatsoever.
So today I’m giving the government a chance to do the right thing by renters, and debate and pass the Greens Rent Freeze Bill today.
Desperate renters need the government to take the housing emergency seriously – not the status quo, so Labor can please their real estate lobby mates.
Renters often have no assets and are among the lowest income earners – the government needs to protect working people and families, not the incomes of investors.
Debate and implement our Rent Freeze Bill today, freeze rents for the next two years, followed by a long-term rent cap, limited to 2% every two years.
