New housing minister presents opportunity to scale up ambition

Everybody’s Home has acknowledged the appointment of Australia’s new housing and homelessness minister, and said it presented a renewed opportunity to scale up the government’s ambition on housing.

 

Everybody’s Home spokesperson Maiy Azize said: “A new minister presents an opportunity to build on the government’s plans for housing. We look forward to working with Minister Clare O’Neil on what we hope will be an ambitious policy agenda ahead of the next federal election. 

 

“Housing is one the biggest issues for voters - there’s not much more important to the electorate than a home but securing safe, decent, affordable housing has never been so tough for them. 

 

“Today, we’re writing to Minister O’Neil welcoming her appointment and briefing her on the recent findings of Australia’s first People’s Commission into the Housing Crisis. The People’s Commission has underscored the extent of the housing crisis across the country, with hundreds of Australians telling us they want urgent action.

 

“Australians are relying on the government to be bold in their ambition. To make a lasting impact we must drastically scale up social housing to meet the 640,000 shortfall.

 

“The government must also prioritise housing fairness by scrapping investor tax breaks and coordinating protections for renters. 

 

“Making housing more affordable for more Australians is possible if the government has the ambition and the willingness to act."

Pause Muslim immigration while leaders collaborate with terror

Family First has called for a pause on Muslim immigration after 50 Muslim leaders teamed up with an international Islamic terrorist organisation, Hizb ut-Tahrir, to sign an open letter defending the Bankstown Muslim nurses who boasted of killing Israelis. Family First lead Senate candidate for South Australia, Christopher Brohier said the pause should remain in place for as long as local Muslim leaders think it is okay to collaborate with international terrorists and local proponents of violence against Jews. “The antisemitism crisis that has festered and escalated since October 7 is not just anti-Jew, it is anti-Australian values. “Family First…
