Housing
In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should have a secure home. However, millions of us face soaring rents and unaffordable mortgages– it’s a housing crisis.
As people struggle, Labor and the Liberals are giving $181 billion in tax handouts to wealthy property investors, and they're backed by the banks and developers profiting from the housing crisis. The rest of us don't stand a chance.
The Greens have delivered billions for social and community housing, and this parliament has the opportunity to go even further. Together, we can stop unlimited rent increases, build public housing, and make homeownership fairer.
Greens wins
In the last term of Parliament, the Greens delivered $3 billion in funding for public and community housing. See my speech on how we achieved that funding here.
Advocacy in Parliament
Unfortunately, Labor and the Liberals take donations from their corporate mates, including the big private developers. Shockingly, we know that property developers are now writing Labor’s Housing policy, something I spoke about in Parliament in 2025.
