“A re-elected #Albanese government would allow all Australian first home buyers to purchase with a 5 per cent deposit, avoiding lenders mortgage insurance, in an expansion of an existing scheme.

The government will also commit $10 billion to build 100,000 new #homes exclusively for #FirstHomeBuyers, and will introduce a $1,000 instant #TaxDeduction from 2026-27

Last minute policy. Details? Cant we address the existing problems?

“I want to help #YoungPeople and #FirstHomeBuyers achieve the dream of #HomeOwnership,” — #AnthonyAlbanese said.

#PeterDutton (#LNP / #Liberal) has announced a $10bn tax cut measure, which would give #Australians who earn up to $144,000 relief of up to $1,200 in the upcoming financial year.”

What a load of horse. Where is the strategy to industrialise the housing Industry to drive down costs and increase quality? <https://www.youtube.com/watchv=36I6jCrWTvQ>

Does #Labor want people to #buy or #rent? Where is this discussion? If not where is the plan to rollback (middle class #welfare) house investment & #NegativeGearing? Where is the talk of #EducationalDebt? Free TAFE for Tradies won’t solve these problems.

Dream on Labor.
Libs, $1200 dollars

“Claire ONEIL: 1.2 million homes in five years

The Minister is focused on building more and wants 1.2 million new homes in five years.

“We need to build more #homes at the affordable end of the market – that’s why we want 1.2 million homes built over #FiveYears and assist #FirstHomeBuyers.

Construction capability is very important – we’ve got to build more homes; we need to build our construction sector’s capacity, and one of the most important aspects of that is that we’re training more #tradies.

Fee-free #TAFE is now permanent. Tens of thousands of those have been people #training in #construction.”

There is no mention that I can find on housing from #Labor. The Government Minister for Housing made the above comment on 14th March in the #Melbourne #NeosKosmos.
