My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, there are almost two million households in mortgage stress and 2.7 million Australians in rental stress, with one million of those paying more than 50 percent of their income in rent. Many are one rental increase away from eviction or homelessness. Prime Minister, will you put aside your own status as a landlord and put the Greens' proposal for a two-year rent freeze and an interest rate pause on the agenda for the next meeting of the National Cabinet?
