Make Housing Affordable | The Australian Greens

But housing is too expensive because Labor and the Liberals give special treatment to the big banks and the property industry. It doesn’t have to be this way.

How will we pay for it? – Victorian Socialists

We live in a rich state, yet resources are unevenly shared. We want to tax the wealth of the billionaires and banks. This wealth should fund essential services.

Housing for all – Victorian Socialists

Housing should be a right, not a commodity. We’re fighting for a five-year rent freeze, 150,000 new public homes, and a ban on hoarding property.

A fair go for rural and regional Victoria – Victorian Socialists

Regional communities deserve the same opportunities. We want to rebuild regional transport, secure sustainable jobs, and end the exploitation of rural workers.

Van Thanh Rudd – Victorian Socialists

I’m running in this election because I want to shake up the system and flip it the other way round and put people first, not profit.

Community wealth building

As the UK’s leading organisation for community wealth building, we work with places to build fairer, more inclusive local economies.

Victorian Labor

Wealth that’s dug up in regional Victoria should stay in regional Victoria to fund schools, hospitals and roads.

Andrew Cheeseman – Victorian Socialists

I stand for rebuilding public services sold off under Kennett’s Liberals and recent Labor governments, reversing privatisation and funding this by taxing the rich.

Good food and nutrition for all – Victorian Socialists

Everyone deserves a decent meal. Good food should be affordable and easily available. We want to set up cost-price food hubs and cap supermarket prices.

Fix the health crisis – Victorian Socialists

Healthcare should be universal and free, not for profit. We’re fighting for fully funded public health and the expansion of free community health clinics.

Think Like a Commoner | A Short Introduction to the Life of the Commons

In our age of predatory markets and make-believe democracy, our troubled political institutions have lost sight of real people and practical realities. But if you look to the edges, ordinary people are reinventing governance and provisioning on their own terms. The commons is arising as a serious, practical alternative to the corrupt Market/State.

Victorian Labor

While Victoria is building more homes than any other state – there is more to do.

Labor’s $1 billion housing plan does nothing to make homes more affordable for first home buyers | The Australian Greens

The Victorian Greens say Labor's latest housing announcement fails to address the biggest barrier facing young Victorians trying to buy their first home - the skyrocketing cost of housing.
