Brisbane Lord Mayor slams Federal Budget "junket" and defends controversial Airbnb reversal

Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner joined Jason Matthews on 4BC Mornings to criticise the recent federal budget, accusing the Prime Minister of funnelling infrastructure funds to Sydney and Melbourne while ignoring Brisbane's rapid growth. The interview then heated up as the host challenged Schrinner on his decision to back down from restricting short-term rentals like Airbnb, a move the Mayor defended by citing new data and the need to build homes rather than tax them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
