Australia politics live: Plibersek calls for Swans and Scots College to ‘show leadership’ in responses to alleged sexual assault incidents

NDIS reforms are expected to pass parliament today. Tim Wilson has expressed concern over a significant drop in housing market confidence following the recent budget. He attributes this to a lack of investment in rental properties, leading to a housing market disaster. Wilson argues that the government's continued overshooting of migration targets exacerbates the rent crisis. He criticizes the current housing system as broken, with renters suffering from decades of government inaction. Wilson also calls out Minister Clare for allegedly gaslighting Australians and defends the impact of "toxic housing taxes" on the market. He believes these policies are negatively affecting the market, despite ministerial defenses. The core issue highlighted is the escalating rent increases and the resulting hardship for Australians. This situation is presented as a direct consequence of government policies and inaction. The urgency of the NDIS reforms passing parliament is also noted.
