After years and years - maybe even a lifetime of neglect by politicians - renters are finally getting noticed. 

This week Prime Minister Anthony Albanese brought his focus to renters, when he promised to negotiate with National Cabinet next week to come up with a plan to strengthen renters’ rights across the country. 

This comes after months of pressure from the Greens over rental rights, as the government tries to secure Greens’ support for its $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund. 

Today, chief political correspondent David Crowe and senior economics correspondent Shane Wright on the government's plan for renters' rights.
