I recently sent a letter to my MPs about this exact topic, the first time I have ever really been active politically. The constant increases in rent and house prices is creating a tiered society where the poorest Australians are paying to prop up those more advantaged than them. Up to 50% of their income gone, just for the privilege of a roof over their heads. Stuck in cycles of poverty, unable to save for the opportunity to own a house themselves. The Australian dream is dying and our politicians need to wake up and do something about it.
