About this episode
As rent prices continue to spiral and many tenants finding themselves at breaking point, the rental crisis shows no sign of slowing.
The Greens are calling for a national freeze on rents, which they say would save households thousands of dollars per year.
But in a country where renters have been overlooked, is there political will to address rising rents? And would capping rents even work?
Today, former Labor campaign strategist turned pollster, and director of the Redbridge Group, Kos Samaras, on why the major parties could face a rebellion from voters if they ignore renters any longer.
