Resident Greens NIMBY, Max Chandler-Mather, continues to push for a two-year freeze on rents under tough new minimum standards for tenancies proposed by the Greens:
“The federal budget has projected that over the next two years, real wages will continue to decline while rents skyrocket and let’s be real, that will see Australia lurch into a major social crisis, unless Labor finally shows some leadership and freezes rents,” the Brisbane MP said.
“An emergency rent freeze worked in Victoria during the pandemic and it can work now across Australia to protect families from unfair rent increases that will either push them into devastating financial stress or even homelessness.”
