Australian Greens
As stated by Shane Rattenbury, Leader of the ACT Greens:
"Today's legislation from Labor to regulate short-term rentals falls far short of addressing the housing crisis facing Canberrans.
"The Greens went to the election calling for stronger action, with options such as limiting short-term rentals to the home you live in.
"The government's step today is insufficient. This small levy will fail to increase the number of affordable homes available to long-term renters, and it will fail to raise enough revenue to make a meaningful impact on the budget bottom line.
"In this housing crisis, the ACT Government needs to do everything it can to ensure every member of our community has access to a stable and affordable home."
