Elizabeth Lee Canberra: Addressing Housing Challenges for Families
In Canberra's political landscape, Elizabeth Lee is advocating for crucial reforms as fertility rates decline significantly. ACT leader Michael Berkman highlighted the impact of rising housing costs on family formation during a recent address. With the fertility rate dropping to 1.54 in Queensland, he underlined how current rental pressures hinder young families from raising children.
Berkman stated, “Raising a family is tough when you risk eviction or face soaring rents. The Greens’ proposal to cap rent increases will help secure housing for young families.” He also voiced support for reinstating public banking to facilitate affordable housing.
