Strongly agree

Yes, but only in severe housing crisis zones, and owner-occupied primary residences must be exempt

Strongly disagree

No, short-term rentals are vital to the local tourism economy and support thousands of hospitality jobs

The party argues that the negative impact of high rents and homelessness on local workers (including hospitality staff) outweighs the economic benefits of unregulated short-term tourism rentals.

No, mum-and-dad investors have the right to monetize their hard-earned property assets however they see fit

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should solve the housing crisis by building more homes, not punishing property investors
