Australia's Budget: $2B for Housing, Tax Changes

Australias federal budget unveils a $2 billion infrastructure push to build 65,000 new homes, accompanied by tax changes on investment properties. The plan aims to address decades of falling affordability and the generational wealth gap. While voters may not see immediate relief, economists support the move, citing its potential to help 75,000 Aussies buy homes and reduce median prices. However, it may also decrease new housing starts by 35,000 units. The long-term strategy seeks to rebuild ownership rates for future generations.
