Both the Liberal-National Coalition and the Greens have opposed the Albanese government’s $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund, with the Coalition saying that the money won’t solve the problem in the short term and the Greens seeking several changes before lending their support.

Meanwhile, the building sector is urging the opposition and crossbenchers to support the proposed Bill as they argue that it will provide the opportunity for the federal government to embed housing as a core infrastructure priority.
