Labor have really dropped the ball with renters though. They could be doing so much more. So many people are paying too much money to live in shit boxes. I found it easier to get a rental when I was a low paid farm worker in 2010, and when I was on centrelink studying in 2012. Now I’m an electronics engineer and it’s harder than it’s ever been. My quality of life has not scaled with education and effort.
(Edit: quality of life with respect to housing security solely I should clarify. I am not struggling in other respects financially)
