My question is for the Treasurer. Recent analysis shows renters will pay an extra $10 billion to their landlords this year in rental hikes, while reports today show the proportion of rental properties below $400 a week has more than halved in the last year. Given the government was willing to work with the states to cap energy prices, will the government finally agree to do the same for rents and put a freeze on rent increases on the National Cabinet agenda as well as doubling rent assistance in the budget to help stop this mounting crisis?
