Hey Albo,
Hope you don’t mind us calling you by your nickname but starting this letter with “Dear Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia” sounds way too formal and we really need to talk, human to human.
You’ve done some cool things in your time as PM already. Bringing in the largest number of women ever in an Australian cabinet was a great start to your term – especially as politics hasn’t had a history of being very welcoming to women.
And earlier this year when you became the first PM to march in the Mardi Gras, that was another great move, too. Respect.
Watch Prime Minister Anthony Albanese march at Mardis Gras. Post continues below.
And because you like to take actions that make big statements, we really need your help on this one. ASAP.
We actually needed you to step in like, yesterday.
We already know that the rental crisis is very real. A few weeks ago, a report confirmed what many of us have already experienced: in Sydney alone, rental prices have increased by between 28 and 49 per cent. In the hardest-hit suburbs, the increases average an extra $6,300 per year in rent compared to a year ago.
Have our wages increased by that same amount? They definitely have not. It's gotten to the point that some people are having to choose between food and rent.
