Sky News host Paul Murray says the Labor government is “obsessed” with adding more people to rental queues.

“Another problem that exists all over the country is the problem with renting,” Mr Murray said.

“This government is obsessed with adding more people to the rental queues.

“Which of course pushes up the rents, the rents on Australians who are desperately trying to hold on to a place to live.

“The median rent in this country is going up and dramatically so.”
