I'll tell you what would have a devastating impact on renters. That would be, in June, to say, because the Greens political party have blocked this legislation even from being debated until October—if you said to every property owner out there, 'You've got till October till a rent freeze comes on,' what do you think would happen?

Do it today. (Time expired)
