The Greens Have Called On The Govt To Freeze Rents Nationwide Bc Shit Is Getting Out Of Control

The Greens want the Federal Government to introduce a freeze on rent prices nationwide for two years to deal with our crippling rental affordability crisis. Apparently all the landlords in parliament are completely (deliberately?) oblivious.

Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather called on the government to introduce the rent freeze on Thursday morning to help avoid a “national tragedy”.

“With more and more people renting long term we desperately need legislated protections against unfair, arbitrary evictions and skyrocketing rents,” he said.

“The rental affordability crisis is destroying regional communities and impacting the broader economy. A rent freeze will help those communities rebuild, tackle the skills shortage and protect livelihoods.

“If the government is serious about cost of living relief, if they’re serious about affordable housing, then it’s a no-brainer to freeze rent rises.”

If @JEChalmers accepts skyrocketing rents are a “big part of the inflation problem” then I have a solution for him. Freeze rents.

Also your future fund will only build 4000 social homes a year – when over half a million people need social homes. A drop in the ocean. pic.twitter.com/2A0lfkp14v — Max Chandler-Mather (@MChandlerMather) August 24, 2022
