The Liberal Government must act now on real solutions to Tasmania’s housing crisis. It’s time to help struggling Tasmanians by building more public and social housing, rein in short-stay and give renters real rights.
The Liberals decade of inaction on housing has created a housing crisis which is hitting Tasmanians hard. Thanks to the Liberals, lutruwita / Tasmania has the fastest growing homeless population in Australia and a housing waitlist that’s more than doubled.
Finding an affordable place to live is becoming impossible, at a time when Tasmanians are already struggling with the rising cost of living. A safe and affordable home isn’t just a basic need, it’s a fundamental human right.
The public housing waitlist has blown out as the Liberals have failed to build enough public and social houses. It’s time for the Rockliff Government to invest in more public and social housing, instead of a billion-dollar stadium.
The Liberals have been asleep at the wheel as countless rental properties have been lost to short-stay accommodation. The Liberals must finally rein in short-stay accommodation to ensure homes for Tasmanians.
The Greens have been trying to stop unreasonable rent increases and introduce minimum standards in rental for years now. But every time we’ve been blocked by the Labor and Liberal parties, who’ve done nothing as rental prices have skyrocketed around the state.
With the housing crisis worsening for Tasmanians, the Rockliff Government must act now on real solutions to the housing crisis, by building more public and social housing, reining in short-stays and giving renters real rights.
