Podcasts about housing australia future fund

Labor's flagship housing fund has fallen flat on its face with not a single home being completed under the ‘Housing Australia Future Fund’. The flagship scheme was legislated almost 18 months ago with the Prime Minister saying in 2021 that 30,000 new homes would be built over the next five years, but so far, funding has only been agreed on for 800 homes. Shadow Minister for Home Ownership Andrew Bragg told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "The government's had three years to build a house and they haven't built a single one so far under this program."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has roasted the opposition for blocking and delaying the Housing Australia Future Fund on 3AW Drive this afternoon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's happening in property investing news this week in Australia?   It's time to find out!   We remove all the fluff to bring a neatly packaged news show, designed to keep you on the ball as an Australian Property Investor.     Let's see what's making property news headlines this week in Australia.    

The Greens have finally come around to backing Labor's housing bill after opposing it for so long which has put Australia a year behind according to Senator Jacqui Lambie. Greens Housing Spokesperson Max Chandler-Mather told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, 'part of the reason it took so long was because last year we did pass Labor's Housing Australia Future Fund in exchange for securing $3 billion of investment in social housing.' 'That is the biggest direct investment in social housing in over a decade that the Greens secured, six times what Labor originally planned to spend and we thought let's try and do that again because the housing crisis is so bad.'  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Property Buzz, your daily dose of property news. In today's podcast: An unscrupulous agent forced to repay his clients losses; What's happening with the Housing Australia Future Fund; and Have renters felt relief from slowing prices?

Home builders and property developers make their money creating new dwellings for Australian households. If they get it right, they can make lots of money doing what they do. When they decide NOT to do what they do, you have to ask why. Why are the builders of major projects of housing or apartments walking away from their plans? Why are big companies who have spent years and millions of dollars planning a major project making the decision not to build it? We've seen many instances recently. An example is the decision by AVJennings to abandon a major housing development near Caboolture in the outer northern suburbs of Greater Brisbane. This project would have added 3,500 new homes to a market where there is a desperate shortage. Brisbane is a market with high demand and a serious shortage of homes. Why would a big developer with a proven track record and the capacity to deliver these kinds of projects make the very big decision to walk away from the project? All that time and money wasted. The answer is: it's simply not viable. AVJennings said massive cost escalations – including the infrastructure charges and delays in getting approvals imposed by local councils – meant the project was no longer viable. I have had discussions recently with developers who say that the cost of creating big residential projects is so high, it's not economically and financially feasible. They would have to place such a high price on the end product that few households would be able to afford to buy the homes. A number of developers have spoken out about the impact that the cost impositions of local councils have on making projects difficult or unviable. Orchard Property Group managing director Brent Hailey says the major infrastructure costs imposed on them make it too expensive for them to build homes. Hailey said that, for example, developers in that Caboolture West precinct that AV Jennings has rejected had to pay for council infrastructure charges and also state government charges because it's in a Priority Development Area. Hailey says: “We're at this point now in SEQ where unless the solutions are put in place quickly, there's going to be a rapid decline in affordability, forced by supply not meeting demand.” He says: “The problem facing developers is the cost of delivering the infrastructure and the balance between fully servicing those costs and trying to get an affordable home. There's the normal council charges and the Priority Development Area (PDA) charges. During Covid-19 costs went through the roof, so now infrastructure is costing a lot more.” Here's another issue which is preventing the creation of affordable homes in Australia. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's pledge to build 40,000 affordable homes through the Government's $10bn housing fund will struggle to deliver any houses at all in Labor's first term of office because only a handful of builders in Australia are eligible to participate in the program. Rules written into the Housing Australia Future Fund legislation require builders contracted to work on new social and affordable homes under the scheme to be accredited for working on government-funded projects. However, of the more than 400,000 construction companies registered in Australia, only around 500 are accredited by the Federal Safety Commissioner under the Work Health and Safety Scheme for eligibility to bid for head contracts funded directly or indirectly by the government. There are few if any residential builders accredited under the scheme in Tasmania and only a limited number in regional Australia. The industry claims the limitation threatens to severely hamper or stall Housing Australia's ability to deliver its target of 40,000 social and affordable homes. This comes at a time when the new construction code being imposed by governments is adding $30,000 to $40,000 to the already-high cost of building new homes in Australia. These are just the latest events adding to a substantial list of situations which create the inevitable conclusion that we have a serious housing shortage in Australia, and very expensive new homes in this country, because of the short-sighted policies of politicians at all levels of government.

Build, build and build some more. That sums up our government's approach to our current housing crisis. Just this month we've seen it from all levels of government. At a Federal Level, we've seen the government pass the Housing Australia Future Fund. At a state level, we've seen Australia's biggest state - New South Wales - pass a budget with housing at the centre. And Australia's second largest state - Victoria - released their housing policy statement that outlined a 10 year plan for the industry. But here's the thing - housing experts almost unanimously agree: we can't build our way out of this housing crisis. Today Sascha and Alec ask - when will there be enough houses for them to afford one? Want more Equity Mates? Click here.

 Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Fighting for Banaba Part 3//Last week, Priya caught up with Professor Katerina Teaiwa and Itinterunga Rae Banteiti to discuss the colonial history of phosphate mining on Banaba and the fight by Banabans for reparations and an end to extraction. This conversation occurs in the context of a recent push by Australian mining company Centrex, which has sought to conduct phosphate prospecting activities on the island under the greenwashing premise of “rehabilitation.” This week, you will hear third segment a three-part interview with Katerina and Rae - listen back to parts 1 and 2 here.// Katerina is an interdisciplinary scholar, artist and award winning teacher of Banaban, I-Kiribati and African American heritage born and raised in Fiji. She is Professor of Pacific Studies in the School of Culture, History and Language, College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University, and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Rae is of Banaban and Kiribati origins and was raised and educated in Fiji. Rae's environment and social justice work are linked to Kiribati people's histories and the extent of environmental degradation caused by extensive mining.// You can find the petition started by the Banaban community on Rabi Island, Fiji, which demands a defence of Banaban rights and the prevention of any further mining of the island, below. There are also links to further information about the impacts of mining on Banaban people and their tireless campaigning to protect and restore Banaba.// Sign the Petition: STOP CENTREX MINING ON BANABA, DEFEND BANABAN RIGHTS, AND CHALLENGE THE RABI ADMINISTRATORArt Exhibit Brings Banaban Human Rights Struggles to Global Stage [article]Forced Displacement, Banaba, and the Right to Life with Dignity [article]Why you must see Project Banaba – an Exhibition by Katerina Teaiwa [article]We are the Fiery Canoe Foundation [video] Driving the Nazis out of Melbourne//Ellie from Campaign Against Racism and Fascism joined us to talk about an upcoming protest event that CARF is holding to drive the nazis out of so-called Melbourne! A few weeks ago, we had fellow CARF member Jasmine on to discuss this upcoming rally, but since then we've seen some successful anti-fascist resistance to attempted neo-nazi intimidation of a fundraiser event last Friday at Cafe Gummo in Thornbury. Today, Ellie will continue the discussion about the importance of broad-based anti-fascist resistance, let us know about the speak-out held this past Tuesday at Gummo, and remind listeners about details of the protest coming up this Saturday the 23rd of September, meeting at 2PM at the IGA in Sunshine West.// Dementia Action Week 2023//Maree McCabe AM, CEO and Board Member of Dementia Australia, joined us today for Dementia Action Week 2023, which runs from 18-24 September and includes World Alzheimer's Day on Thursday 21 September, to talk about stigma, discrimination, and lack of awareness of dementia. A recognised leader in the health and aged care, Maree brings more than twenty years' experience across the health, mental health and aged care sectors. If you live with dementia or are the family member, friend or carer of someone who does and would like further information or advice about dementia, you can call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500 for free support 24/7. // National Union of Students on the Housing Australia Future Fund//The National Union of Students supported putting pressure on the federal government to introduce a rent cap to address housing stress experienced by students. Recently, however, the Greens backflipped on withholding support for the Housing Australia Future Fund after getting a commitment for extra spending on social housing from the Labor government, reducing the pressure to introduce a rent cap. To discuss how this contributes to the housing stress faced by students, impacts federal housing policy and influences their campaigning in the future we were joined by National Union of Students' Education Officer Xavier Dupe. During the interview, Xavier mentioned the NUS Education Office's ‘Get A Room' campaign to fix the rental crisis - find out more here.// Building Community with Resident Frequency Recording Studio//Earlier this week, Spike caught up with Izzy Brown to congratulate her on the launch of the latest grassroots community project she has been involved in called the Resident Frequency Recording studio. Located at the old men's shed at 253 Hoddle St Collingwood, the Resident Frequency Recording Studio is an important local community controlled resource that should be celebrated, and Izzy spoke to us about its launch on Sunday September 17th, the importance of building free, safe and inclusive community spaces, and shared the local community's hopes to develop autonomous skillshare and mentoring programs from the Collingwood public housing estate site.//

Join us for an eventful week in Australian politics as we unpack the latest developments from the heart of Parliament. The week kicked off when the Australian Greens threw their support behind the government's Housing Australia Future Fund bill. While this move promises progress, we look into why it may have taken this long and discuss the need for further housing reforms.And within this political manoeuvring, we examine how both the government and the Greens had to strategically position themselves. This led to a significant victory for both, with the Greens securing a $3 billion concession from the government for social housing through the HAFF, and the government getting one of key policies passed.The Voice to Parliament referendum has been littered with a campaign of misinformation from the “No” side of the referendum. We uncover the outrageous claims being propagated, including the abolition of Australia Day and Anzac Day, compensation claims, reparations, and a push for Treaty, with many of these talking points have made their way into the discourse of Liberal Party politicians, such as Peter Dutton and Sussan Ley. We revisit our earlier prediction that fear-mongering would intensify as we approach October 14. The claims have become increasingly outlandish, leaving us pondering the eventual outcome of this misinformation campaign.We also look at the revelations made by Liberal MP Karen Andrews about harassment within the party during Parliament question time. We contemplate the larger issue of gender dynamics in Australian politics and why speaking out about workplace harassment is more complicated than it may seem. There is a critical need for Parliament House to be a safe working environment for all, from staffers to parliamentarians, an issue highlighted by the independent member Kylea Tink, who highlights the urgency of systemic change.COVID-19 seems like a hidden pandemic situation in Australia and we reflect on the stark contrast between the early days of the pandemic and the present, with daily case numbers averaging today just over 700, there are still many people dying from COVID-19 every week. Why have the effects of the pandemic being ignored? We explore the shift from community spread to hospital spread and the hidden risks associated with this development.There's also a current debate surrounding the role of journalists in the Australian media landscape. We question the trend of uncritically reporting opposition statements and the need for journalists to exercise judgment, discern newsworthiness, and hold those in power accountable.

In this episode, we explore the Housing Australia Future Fund legislation, which has been delayed in the Senate by the Australian Greens and the Liberal Party, despite the pressing national housing crisis. We discuss the implications and the justifiability of this delay in addressing the urgent issue.We look at the approved Referendum for a Voice to Parliament legislation, highlighting the significance of this milestone in a historically challenging journey. We analyse the controversial decision of Senator Lidia Thorpe to campaign against the Voice to Parliament, forming an unexpected alliance with the Liberal Party, the National Party, and One Nation. We explore the reasons behind this collaboration and the debate surrounding the adequacy of the proposed legislation.Peter Dutton is undergoing an image makeover and, like many leaders before him, seeks to present a more appealing persona to the electorate. We dissect the strategies employed by political leaders to shape public perception, but it might be lost cause for Dutton, who doesn't appear to have to much time available to him, to turn these perceptions around.Next, we turn our attention to Senator Jackie Lambie, who has taken the bold step of referring the Australian Defence Force to the International Criminal Court over their actions in Afghanistan. We discuss the lack of accountability for the killing of 39 Afghan civilians by Australian special forces and the importance of shedding light on such incidents, and examine the delicate balance between government-military relations and the need for transparency in addressing war crimes.The Reserve Bank's recent announcement of their strategy to reduce inflation by increasing the unemployment rate, has drawn strong criticism. We evaluate the neoliberal economic theory behind this tactic, which relies on higher unemployment to create job market competition and suppress wages. We question the sustainability and societal impact of such measures and propose alternative economic models for consideration.Join us as we navigate the complex landscape of politics, shedding light on the critical issues at hand and exploring the potential solutions: a thought-provoking episode that aims to unravel the layers of drama and decision-making in the realm of federal politics! #auspol #VoiceToParliament

The government wanted its $20 billion Housing Australia Future Fund legislated this week, but the Greens had other plans - they joined forces with the Coalition to defer the vote on the bill until October.  The Greens say they won't support the bill until the government makes concessions - they want a national rental freeze and more taxpayer money directed straight into housing, as opposed to putting it into an investment fund.  The government has intimated that the blocking of the bill is the first step in setting up a double dissolution election trigger.  So, how will the government handle the first major roadblock to its agenda? What exactly are the Greens fighting for, and *who* are they fighting for? And are we really headed for a double dissolution election?  Today, economics correspondent Rachel Clun and chief political correspondent David Crowe join Jacqueline Maley to discuss the week in politics.  Cut through the noise of federal politics with news, views and expert analysis from Jacqueline Maley.

Smart Property Investment's editorial team unite to unpack the tenuous political landscape that's currently at play across Australia.

The government wanted its $20 billion Housing Australia Future Fund legislated this week, but the Greens had other plans - they joined forces with the Coalition to defer the vote on the bill until October.  The Greens say they won't support the bill until the government makes concessions - they want a national rental freeze and more taxpayer money directed straight into housing, as opposed to putting it into an investment fund.  The government has intimated that the blocking of the bill is the first step in setting up a double dissolution election trigger.  So, how will the government handle the first major roadblock to its agenda? What exactly are the Greens fighting for, and *who* are they fighting for? And are we really headed for a double dissolution election?  Today, economics correspondent Rachel Clun and chief political correspondent David Crowe join Jacqueline Maley to discuss the week in politics.  Cut through the noise of federal politics with news, views and expert analysis from Jacqueline Maley.

The government's planned Housing Australia Future Fund has hit a roadblock. Legislation for the $10 billion fund – the returns on which would be used to build social and affordable housing – is being blocked by an unusual alliance of the Coalition and the Greens. Max Chandler-Mather, who won the seat of Griffith in Brisbane from Labor's Terri Butler, has been under personal attack by the government. Labor leader in the Senate Penny Wong accused him of ego-stroking, and the prime minister suggested he was hypocritical for wanting more social housing while opposing a developments in his electorate. Why is a party that has championed more social and affordable housing opposing an initiative to get more housing into the market? In this podcast, Chandler-Mather says: “Our criticisms are twofold"

Lider savezne opozicije kritikovao je budžet laburističke vlade za 2023. godinu istakavši da ovaj budžet ne podržava Australce sa srednjim primanjima. Isto tako, rekao je da će vladina politika 'velike Australije', odnosno dodatne imigracije, pogoršati stambenu krizu, koju laburisti pokušavaju riješiti stambenim zakonom Housing Australia Future Fund, koji još nije prošao u parlamentu.

The Australian Government has been having trouble getting its proposed Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) passed by the Senate. The policy looks odd. With some justification, the Australian Greens have commented: “In its current form the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) legislation will see the housing crisis get worse. We can't fix the housing crisis by gambling money on the stock market and not guaranteeing a single cent will be spent on housing.” In their dissenting report on the bill, the Greens' cited the views of this episode's guest, Dr Cameron Murray.

The Greens have threatened to block Anthony Albanese's $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund in the Senate unless the government builds 275,000 public and affordable homes over five years and introduces a two-year national rent freeze. Ahead of the government putting its centrepiece housing legislation into Parliament after the October 25 budget, the Greens are pushing three demands in return for their support, including a $5b investment in maintenance and upgrades for existing public housing. Greens Housing and Homelessness spokesperson and Federal Member for Griffith, Max Chandler-Mather, laid the blame for much of the nation's rental woes on Australia's two million landlords.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a country of 25.5 million people, there are just one million vacant dwellings.Rising cost-of-living pressures have not only pushed Australia's real estate and rental prices up, but the national vacancy rate is less than 10 per cent.That's according to the 2021 Census, which has revealed while there were nearly one million new dwellings counted compared with 2016, just over one million of Australia's total 11 million dwellings are unoccupied.South Australia had among the lowest rates of housing availability, with just over 83,000 unoccupied dwellings of the total 808,000 in the state.Just over 299,000 of the 3.3 million dwellings in NSW were unoccupied. Similarly, in Victoria, there were more than 2.8 million dwellings, of which 298,000 were unoccupied.The ACT also has an issue with housing availability, with just over 12,000 of the capital's 187,000 dwellings unoccupied.Statisticians estimate many of those dwellings are vacant holiday homes or vacant investment properties.Only two-thirds of households owned their home outright or with a mortgage, and a third of Australians rent their homes.Housing Minister Julie Collins told NCA NewsWire that the Albanese government had a plan to ensure there were more affordable houses available for Australians.“Safe and affordable housing is central to the security and dignity of all Australians,” she said.“It is concerning that more and more Australians are struggling to affordably rent a home. This is the legacy of the former Liberal National government.“The Albanese government has a strong set of policies that we took to the election to help address these challenges and we are already working hard to fulfil these commitments. This is my priority.“These policies include the Housing Australia Future Fund, which will build 30,000 social and affordable housing properties nationally in its first five years.“We will introduce a national housing supply and affordability council to ensure the commonwealth plays a leadership role in increasing housing supply and improving housing affordability.”GENERATIONAL DIVIDEThere are just as many millennials as there are boomers in Australia after the country's population grew by two million people over the last five years.The 2021 Census has revealed that, within a very small margin, the number of millennials – 25 to 39-year-olds – have caught up with baby boomers” – 55 to 74-year-olds – as the largest generational groups in Australia.There are around 5.4 million people within each age group, with only 5662 more boomers than millennials.The number of millennials have increased from 20.4 per cent of the population in 2011 to 21.5 per cent in 2021, while at the same time the number of baby boomers have decreased from 25.4 per cent to 21.5 per cent.Australia has become a less religious country over the last 10 years – with over 40 per cent identifying as Christian, down from 60 per cent in 2011.Millennials and baby boomers reported very different religious affiliations – nearly 60 per cent (56.8 per cent) of baby boomers are Christian compared with 30 per cent of millennials.More than 46 per cent of millennials reported having no religion compared with 30 per cent of baby boomers.Dr Gruen said while the religion question was voluntary, 93 per cent of people answered it.“The religion question holds a special place in the Census – it is one of the few topics that has been in every one of Australia's 18 Censuses and is the only question that is voluntary,” he said.Elsewhere, the Census data found almost half of Australians had a parent born overseas, and more than 25 per cent of the population were born in another country.More than one million people have moved to Australia since 2017, with nearly a quarter of those from India.Language wise, more than 5.5 million people speak a language other than English at home, with Mandarin still the most common tongue.- by Ellen Ransley, news.com.au
