Renters won't forgive Labor says Greens' Max Chandler-Mather at ALP conference protest

ABC  

Renters "won't forgive" Labor for failing to bring in a rent cap, Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather has told hundreds of protesters at the ALP's national conference in Brisbane. "This week Labor abandoned renters and locked in unlimited rent increases, and people aren't going to forgive them for that," Mr Chandler-Mather said. Announcing the scheme's return, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had invoked the Australians "who have done all the right things" but for whom ownership — the "Australian dream" — was still out of reach. In April, the Greens said they would support the legislation only if it included rent caps and freezes and $2.5 billion towards "public, community and affordable housing".
