## Resource

Australias new budget targets housing taxes, scrapping perks for new investors to boost first-home buyer chances. While it may help 75,000 Aussies buy homes over a decade, it wont significantly impact rents. Housing expert Professor Wendy Stone praises it as a bold step, but long-term renters like Alyssa Shaw remain unconvinced. The Coalition plans to repeal it, and Greens argue it favors big property owners. The road to stability for renters remains bumpy, but the budget sparks conversation on fairer housing in Australia.
