The Property Council of Australia chief executive, Mike Zorbas, said:

The five-year national housing target is already a success …

He said, 'There is currently an outbreak of nationally coordinated political leadership and productivity on planning and housing, something we have not seen so far this century and would not have seen without the accord.' The Housing Industry Association said:

… we are seeing the right conversations taking place and funding announcements made …

When you inherit a decade of neglect, you put in place the investments, you put in place the construction and you put in place the refurbishments, delivering 55,000 social and affordable homes, our $43 billion Homes for Australia plan, 100,000 homes for sale only to first home buyers and five per cent deposits for all first home buyers. The Help to Buy shared-equity scheme—remember that?—was only passed last December, because the 'no-alition' held it up for three years.
