Clinton is joined by Michael Crosby, head of Public Policy AU/NZ at Airbnb, who are committed to strengthening Australian communities by collaborating with governments to ensure short-term rentals benefit locals, protect housing, and support economic activity.

While underproduction of housing is the primary cause of housing challenges, Airbnb recognizes the need to do more.

Initiatives include commissioning housing impact studies, sharing data via the City Portal, and donating $1 million to HOPE Housing.

Airbnb urges policymakers to introduce fair regulations, such as guest tourism levies to fund affordable housing and statewide host registration schemes to increase transparency and improve short-term rental policies.
