They're talking about government-mandated #RentControl. The article doesn't mention it, because #jermalisms, but we have it in #Canberra. My #rent went up $5/week last year; were we still in #Brisbane, we'd be paying exactly twice what we were five years ago.

We don't have a #HousingAffordability problem in #Australia—we have a politician problem. There's simply no political will at state or federal levels to rein landlords in.

@KatCopseyGreens
Why single out Victoria? We should ‘make’ all jusrisdictions introduce #RentControl until the #HousingCrisis is a thing of the past — Hint it never will be.

Q. How can the Greens get traction in State/NT/Federal Parliaments (in terms of increased number of seats)? Something to think about. It’s bound to be a ground game (hustings and door to door) as well as digital campaign — with the right policies for a majority of the electorate.

As Labor vacates centre-left, there is a vacuum there to occupy, no?

New York needs to remove bottom feeders
By providing nuts with real assistance
Not the criminalizing stigmatizers
But something to give a better chance
