‘Ambitious’: Australian government plans to build 1.2 million homes in five years
Housing Industry Association Chief Economist Tim Reardon says the government’s house construction goal is “ambitious”.
The government plans to build 1.2 million new homes within five years across Australia.
Mr Reardon told Sky News host Andrew Bolt that if the goal is not achieved, we will “continue to see” rental price growth at 10 per cent.

The rot has to stop.
262800 houses a year near to be built, more than we’ve ever built, during a cost and living and construction crisis. Is anyone telling albo that this can’t be done??
It's the cost of land , that that is too expensive . Flood the market with affordable blocks and housing costs will fall . There won't be so much of a shortage . You can buils a house with sticks and stones . No one ever mentions the cost of land , over 1,000 a sqm . As if we're running out of land . Not enough land release gready devolopers . land banking , slow release and government taxes . This country is screwed . The agerage folks just take it .
15 min cities
whenever the government steps in to make things less expensive it always seems to backfire, ends up costing taxpayers more than if the market was left alone

"The government plans to build houses" sounds so Soviet to me!
I wonder how many of the homes are going to be riddled with defects.

Well when I say 'house' it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us.
Build cities inland. The cities are already over-crowded and congested. Quality of life is declining. Provide incentives for ppl to move elsewhere.
657.5 homes per day 😂😂 Yeah nah that won't happen
5 Years? He'll be lucky if the Labor Government lasts this full term. 5 years means he's planning for 2 more terms.FAT CHANCE.
If I remember Justin Turdeau in Canada made a similar promise and only a handful got built.
Here in WA the state is allowing 10k foreigners more!!! It's a risky business to promise a big amount of houses!!! They're crazy!?!
…and pig barrels will fly.😂
Back in business Mr Bolt, we miss you a lot!!!
I guess we will be paying to build them through more taxes then get hit again to buy one with exorbitant government stamp duties
Are they for Australians?

1.2 house's 😂 that's way less than the migrants coming here under Labor what about us Aussies do we get any of them houses and can we get a yard big enough for the kids play football and to park the boat in yard. Just look at these new house and land package their so close to each other they look like a beehive breeding young criminals
He's dreaming!
Bizzare
but can immigrants afford a house or are these going to be government (taxpayer) housing??

The problem is Japan has like nearly 150 million people and it is very small.
Already bought overseas & got OUT of your absolutely insane debt-leveraged, stupidly inflated residential property & immigration circus. Good job Australia.
Question Bolt, are you just a mouth piece for the Libs or a journalist? Every clip of you on my Sky feed is an endless diatribe of right wing talking points and a nightly bashing of Labor. I do not believe they are in any way perfect but are the Libs without any fault? Your ratings are pathetic and it's easy to see why. Try broadening your appeal by giving some balance rather than your own endless, one sided rhetoric.
send the immigrants back, then the issue is fixed.
