The National Association of Renters' Organisations (NARO) has launched ‘The National Nine: Principles for Strengthening Renters' Rights’ – a briefing report providing expert guidance on the principles for strengthening renters’ rights in Australia.

In launching the report, a webinar event was held to give an overview of the report’s key recommendations and included a panel conversation.

Speakers at the webinar included:

• Trina Jones, NSW Rental Commissioner

• Heather Holst, Victorian Rental Commissioner

• Melisa Coveney, Darwin Community Legal Services

• Daniel Pritchard, Circle Green Community Legal, Western Australia

• Peter Mares, leading researcher and writer on the housing crisis
