We demand more than band aid solutions, we want real change
By Adam Bandt MP, Leader of the Australian Greens
In the last few weeks in Canberra, we've been doing everything we can to try to get Labor to actually take the cost of living, housing and climate crisis seriously. Labor or the Liberals are not interested in actually solving the problems. The just keep tinkering around the edges.
They're not interested in helping renters, mortgage holders or people getting ripped off by the supermarkets.
They're just papering over the cracks, refusing to do their job and fix the pressures which are causing the cracks in the first place.
The cost of living, for many people, is a full blown economic crisis. Millions of people are going without. It's not going to be fixed with an electricity rebate or child care subsidy.
When we push for more, we're told we're threatening the band aid solutions they've proposed.
