Opposition leader Peter Dutton says he intends to restore the Australian dream of home ownership, promising $5 billion to fast-track building projects if the Coalition wins the next election. Dutton unveiled the Coalition's Housing Infrastructure Program on Saturday, designed to expedite the construction of up to half a million homes through a mixture of grants and concessional loans.
They haven't supported the additional investment that we have in infrastructure investment that's been in the budgets, they've criticised that," Albanese said. Housing Minister Clare O'Neil said the promise did not make up for the Coalition's planned cuts to spending on social and affordable housing. "Peter Dutton is taking with one hand and giving with the other. It's a card trick," she told reporters.
