"Wednesday’s National Cabinet meeting set itself a huge task: to fix
Australia’s rental crisis. Thankfully, given rents are rising at their fastest
rate in decades, the plan it produced just might do the trick.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says it’s the most significant housing reform
in a generation. If the states and territories deliver on their commitments,
this might become one of the rare occasions when such lofty rhetoric is
justified.

The plan has two key objectives:

* to remove constraints to building more homes in established suburbs
* to give renters more rights

As Grattan Institute has long argued, each is crucial."
