As I talk to locals in my community, I hear so many stories from people about their concerns about homeownership. Graham has shared with me his concern for his grandchildren, who are in their mid-20s with well-paying jobs and who have virtually given up on the dream of owning their own home.

Right now it feels impossible to get into your own home no matter how hard you work and save. That's why a Peter Dutton coalition government will help speed up the construction of up to 500,000 homes with $5 billion to fund the essential infrastructure that's delaying them, unlocking more homes more quickly. This includes sites such as Kinley Estate, in my community, with funding being used to build critical road infrastructure that will not only help unlock more homes in Kinley but also reduce congestion on our existing local roads in Lilydale and Mooroolbark.

To further help first home buyers, we'll allow Australians to access up to $50,000 of their money from their super to buy their first home. It's time to rebuild the great Australian dream of homeownership, and only the coalition has a real plan to get Australians out of renting and into their own homes.
