A real estate peak body in Queensland has criticised the Australian Greens Party for proposing a bill that would suspend rental prices in the state, saying it was out of touch with reality.

This came after Greens MP Amy MacMahon tabled a private member’s bill to the Queensland parliament on Aug. 31. If approved, it would cap all rent increases at two percent every two years after August 2024.
