Independent Member for Clark, Andrew Wilkie, asked the following question of the Minister for Housing in the Federal Parliament.
“Minister, in 2023, National Cabinet agreed on nine reforms under the “Better Deal for Renters” legislation. However, both National Shelter and the Tenants Union note that in Tasmania the State Government is currently not pursuing six of the agreed reforms.
“So Minister, why is the Tasmanian Government being allowed to slow-walk these agreed reforms, and will the Federal Government finally inject some urgency into nationally consistent protections for renters?”
