Australia's housing crisis deepens as targets lag

Australia's target of building 1.2 million homes in five years is significantly behind schedule, with only 260,000 homes built and a shortfall of nearly 100,000. Health Minister Mark Butler and Deputy Opposition Leader Jane Hume debate solutions, including infrastructure deals, planning reform, and the government's 5% deposit scheme for first home buyers. The National Construction Code's complexity and migration pressures are identified as key factors affecting housing supply.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
