Anthony Albanese has rented out his luxury home on the NSW Central Coast that he bought for $4 million last year. 

The Prime Minister updated his official register of interests in January to list for the first time unspecified “rental income” for the clifftop Copacabana retirement home. 

While his real estate agent declined to reveal how much rent he is charging, online estimators suggested he could ask for $1,000 a week or about $52,000 a year.

On top of the Central Coast home, Albanese is now also renting out his Sydney home, a mortgage-free federation bungalow with a pool for $1,350 a week while he lives rent-free at the Lodge.

Between the two properties, the prime minster’s rental income is around $2,350 a week or $9,400 a month.

His annual rental income on top of his salary is an estimated $122,200 and his salary is $564,356 a year.

Greens housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather has previously taken aim at Mr Albanese for owning investment properties as he stepped up his campaign to scrap negative gearing laws.

“Let’s be real, if Labor wants to deal with housing affordability then it’s time to phase out the billions of dollars in tax concessions property investors get every year in the form of negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions,” Mr Chandler-Mather said.

“We could be investing that money in building public housing but instead it is going to people like the Prime Minister with his three investment properties.”

He went on to question why Australia has a “property investor as a prime minister” during the “worst housing crisis we’ve seen in a generation”, adding, “I think what they’ve got to realise on the politics of this in the course of this year a lot of renters are going to start asking the question.”
