Australians are paying the price for the little action from the former government over almost a decade when it comes to housing affordability and housing supply. Our government, the Albanese Labor government, was elected with a plan: a plan to help tackle the housing challenges.

We said we would establish a $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund, and we've introduced that legislation. This will be the single biggest investment by a federal government in more than a decade in social and affordable housing in this country. It will create a secure pipeline of funding for social and affordable housing. It would be there in perpetuity, with returns being invested each and every year in social and affordable housing in this country.
