Yes, shame. The current Minister for Housing is showing national leadership through regular housing ministerial council meetings. They have met multiple times this year. The former government also showed no interest in social and affordable housing. In contrast, the Housing Australia Future Fund will see the Albanese government deliver 30,000 new social and affordable homes in the fund's first five years, including a minimum of 1,200 in the senator's home state of Tasmania. The former government had no plan for housing and failed to deliver housing for Australians in need. The Albanese government has a comprehensive housing agenda that is delivering social and affordable housing for Australians. It's an agenda that's delivering for all Australians, particularly Tasmanians in your home state, Senator Bilyk.
