Right, on the issue of the 100,000 houses the government has committed to building for first home buyers, Clare O’Neil, the housing minister says:

We don’t just have a commitment to build 100,000 homes for first-time buyers. The government has been working on building more homes for three years now and it is working. Let me just canvass some numbers with you. We have a commitment to build 1.2 million homes with estates over the coming five years. We are making real progress on that. We have got 500,000 homes across this country since we came to government and that has been assisted by the policies we have put in place, fee free tape has trained 500,000 people around our country, 40,000 of them in construction professions and don’t forget that is one of the myriad things that Peter Dutton wants to slash and burn if he is elected.

The PM has led the states undertake significant planning reform and traffic that we have a generational investment under way in the government actually rolling up its sleeves and building more homes we are adding 100,000 homes to what is already a massive homebuilding program that we have across the states and territories.

Let me add one more thing. I wanted to look at what is going on in construction today. If you look at the approval numbers that came out just a couple of days ago, approvals have gone up 25% of the previous year.

The Coalition ‘s approach to this is we can’t do anything about this, it is the private sector, nothing to do with us. We take a fundamentally different view. A government is stepping in to support first-time buyers and we will build more homes around the country and I not possible because it is already happening.
