The Greens are having hundreds of conversations with the community about the fight to address the housing crisis in WA - and we need your help.
We know that Labor’s answer to the housing crisis, the Housing Australia Future Fund, is the equivalent of throwing a bucket of water on a forest fire: a $10b dollar gamble on the stock market that lost money last year and has no protections for renters.
Right now, your rent can go up by any amount and if you can’t afford it, you get kicked out. Rents have already gone up 20%, and with the Reserve Bank expecting even more rises over the next year, more and more renters will struggle to cope. Unlimited rent increases should be illegal.
Thanks to our historic community doorknocking campaign across the country, the tide is shifting and the pressure is working. It’s now been reported that even Labor MPs and members are pushing for Federal Labor to adopt our Greens housing policies, including phasing out negative gearing.
The Greens are fighting for urgent action on the rental crisis through freezing and capping rent increases for 2 years, and strengthened renters rights such as ending no grounds evictions.
Our message to every Labor MP across the country is this: the Greens will keep knocking on doors until Labor actually negotiates with us in good faith to work together on a plan to tackle the housing crisis.
Will you join our next doorknock to continue to build pressure on the Federal and State Labor Governments?
Help us this Sunday 3rd September 10am -12.30pm.
