The housing crisis across NSW is out of control. The rent is too damn high. 60% of NSW renters experience rental stress - spending more than 30% of their income on rent. Protections for tenants are virtually non existent with moldy rentals which are hot in summer, cold in winter and expensive all year.
Mortgage payments are going through the roof as the RBA punishes workers for profit-driven inflation. Working class people are getting priced out of the neighbourhoods they work in.
1 in 4 respondents to an 'Everybody’s Home No Room to Move'* survey said they feared being driven into homelessness if housing costs continue to rise this year.
The Minns Government has responded by demolitioning existing public housing and selling off public land to private developers. Labor lied to public housing tenants in Waterloo when they promised to "stop the sell off".
Councils like the Inner West council have passed pro-developer plans which will see massive profiteering on new, expensive development. The Inner West council's 'Fairer Future' plan has allocated only 2% to "affordable housing" and will see existing low cost rentals knocked down.
-Cut rents by 35% and freeze for 5 years
-Ban evictions
-Scrap the pro-devleoper 'Fairer Future' plan
-Stop the demolition of public housing
Join the End the Housing Crisis rally & march on Saturday November 14, 1pm @ Pride Square Newtown. We’ll be marching to Sydney Park to end with a picnic.
