US EditionHow do the Coalition and Labor plans on housing differ - and what have they ignored?
- The Coalition and Labor have both announced major housing plans ahead of the 2025 election, focusing on increasing housing supply across Australia.
- These plans respond to a nationwide housing shortage fueled by population growth, with parts of south-west Sydney exemplifying rapid development and rising demand.
- Labor pledges $10 billion to build 100,000 homes for first-time buyers and expand deposit assistance programs, while the Coalition promises a $5 billion fund for enabling infrastructure and superannuation withdrawals.
- Labor plans to facilitate the construction of a substantial number of new homes over the next half-decade by offering concessional loans and promoting urban infill development, while the Coalition focuses on reducing regulatory hurdles by freezing building standards for ten years.
- Both parties exclude major tax reforms and face criticism for potentially insufficient measures, while the housing crisis remains acute with significant unmet social housing needs and infrastructure gaps.
