Fixing the Housing Crisis
Sign our petition below to send a message to the NSW Premier calling on him to support urgent housing reforms 
Everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. Unfortunately, finding affordable and secure housing in Sydney has never been harder.
After years of pressure from the Greens, housing advocates and the community, we have received the welcome news that NSW Labor has committed to finally ending unfair, no-grounds evictions. This is a really positive step forward to make sure that renters have a safe place to call home, but there is still much more to do to fix this crisis.
Disappointingly, Labor have broken their promise to deliver 30% social, affordable, and universal housing on all public land. Instead, the government suggests that long-term planning reforms and rezonings are the best ways to improve housing affordability.
While new housing supply is part of the solution, the type of new supply is crucial. Expensive new apartments won’t help people who can’t afford the rent now, nor will they make it easier for first-home buyers to get a foot in the door.
The Greens have a plan to fix the housing crisis and ensure everyone has a safe, affordable, and secure place to live, but we need your support to get this done. Will you please send a message to the NSW Premier, calling on him to support these housing reforms?
We are calling on the NSW Premier to introduce urgent reforms to address the housing crisis including:
- Strengthening the new no-grounds eviction laws
- Increasing rights for renters by introducing minimum enforceable standards for dwellings and allowing pets
- Ensuring affordable housing rents are capped at 30% of a person's income
- Building public housing on public land, including the former WestConnex dive site at Camperdown
- Supporting the phase-out of unfair tax concessions that create an unfair advantage for property investors over renters and first-home buyers including negative gearing and capital gains tax discounts
