The debate over negative gearing and housing policy has intensified in Australia, with the Greens and key crossbenchers pushing for changes against the backdrop of a reported housing crisis. This comes as 65% of federal politicians are revealed to own two or more properties, sparking accusations of hypocrisy from Sky News host Chris Kenny towards the Greens. The issue has become a focal point in political discourse, with Greens Senator Max Chandler-Mather criticizing the government's failure to address the housing crisis, citing 1.2 million people on housing waiting lists and over 100,000 in temporary accommodations. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has pledged to repeal the Right to Disconnect law if elected, amidst discussions on Labor's IR legislation. The potential alteration of negative gearing by the Labor government is seen as a significant interference in the housing market, with Sky News contributors warning of the repercussions for homeowners. The discourse extends to the education sector, where a new report highlights that one in three Australian school students are unable to read properly, potentially costing the country $40 billion over their lifetimes.
