Abstract

While the 2023–24 Budget saw the first real increase in rent assistance in Australia since 1990, this was small compared to the growth in real incomes over the three decades. Rapid increases in advertised rents, and expectations that these will flow through to average rents, make an increase in this payment all the more urgent. This article reviews the arguments for and against providing rent assistance to income support recipients in Australia and argues for a serious consideration of the 2010 recommendations of the Report into Australia's Future Tax System for a substantial increase in this payment.

为什么我们要增加租金援助?

虽然2023-24年预算显示，澳大利亚自1990年以来首次出现租金援助的实际增长，但与过去30年实际收入的增长相比，这一增长很小。广告租金的迅速上涨，以及人们对这些上涨将转化为平均租金的预期，使得这种支付的增加变得更加迫切。本文回顾了支持和反对向澳大利亚的收入支持接受者提供租金援助的论点，并主张认真考虑2010年澳大利亚未来税收制度报告中关于大幅增加这种支付的建议。
