Workers Need Affordable Homes
In Australia, many workers can no longer afford to live near their jobs.
Rents are rising faster than wages, the system rewards professional landlords, and there isn’t enough public housing to meet demand. Working people are being pushed further behind.
It’s time for the Australian Government to act in the upcoming Federal Budget and deliver fairer housing for working people.
Why is this important?
Housing costs are one of the biggest pressures facing working people. They affect where we can live, how far we have to commute, and whether we can get ahead.
Union members are raising their voices to demand change because housing affordability won’t improve on its own. By coming together, workers can push for real reforms and make housing fairer.
Sign the petition today if you agree the Federal Government must:
- Create a fairer tax system for housing – reform negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions so home ownership is supported over investment for profit.
- Invest in more public and affordable housing – commit to long-term, large-scale investment so more people can access secure homes.
