Why Labor’s ‘Help to Buy’ housing bill will fail renters – Max Chandler-Mather
Greens Spokesperson for Housing and Homelessness, Max Chandler-Mather explains why Labor’s latest housing bill will make the housing crisis worse, and how the Greens are fighting for renters.
Labor and Liberal governments have peddled housing schemes like this for years to make it seem like they are doing something about the housing crisis, and give people false hope, while in reality they let rents and prices soar.
Renters are hurting, but the Greens are pushing Labor to negotiate for real action. That means freezing and capping rent increases, scrapping the $176 billion in tax handouts to property investors and using it to fund a mass investment in public housing.
