to move:

That the House acknowledges that:

(1)
the cost of housing in Australia is often more than double what it should be;
(2)
the high cost is mainly due to the huge increase in the price of land and, as a result, land affordability is a problem in Australia, and especially in Sydney;
(3)
Sydney is the most penalised city in the country, with affordability being worse than in London or New York;
(4)
the main causes are State and local government planning restrictions and taxes; and
(5)
State and local governments must play their part to reduce the cost of housing so the great Australian dream remains a reality, especially for future generations.
