Demand More Rights for Renters and Affordable Housing Across All States


Demand More Rights for Renters and Affordable Housing Across All States
The issue
The current housing situation in our country is dire, with many Australians struggling to find affordable homes. This petition calls on all state governments to grant more rights to renters, ensuring they have access to safe and affordable housing. We also urge the federal government to take decisive action by curbing foreign investment in real estate, ending negative gearing practices that favor wealthy investors over everyday citizens, and implementing a higher tax rate for the rich. It's time we prioritized building more homes across all council electorates rather than focusing solely on rented properties.
Furthermore, we demand a commitment from all Local Council Areas (LCAs) towards increasing the percentage of social, community and affordable housing. Housing is a fundamental human right that no government should ignore or sideline.
According to Australian Bureau of Statistics (2016), 11.5% of Australians are living in properties they do not own because they cannot afford it - this figure is unacceptable and needs immediate attention.
Everyday Australians deserve equal rights and opportunities when it comes to securing a home. Let's make sure our voices are heard loud and clear by those who can make these changes happen - sign this petition today!
