The Labor government has reached the trifecta of housing failures: fewer homes, higher rents and confidence in the market completely smashed. The great Australian dream under this Labor government has, sadly, turned into a nightmare. On every metric that you can use to measure their policies, they are a failure.
Let's put to one side the 1.2 million homes that they are clearly not going to deliver during their term in office. Labor loves talking about its Housing Australia Future Fund, but so does the Auditor-General, and do you know what the Auditor-General has told us? Against their 40,000 home HAFF and accord facility program, just 1,432 homes were delivered to May, but—guess what?—only 762 of those were actually constructed.
