Party platform policies

Australian Labor Party

Housing

Labor’s current settings include the Housing Australia Future Fund for social/affordable supply, the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme (expanded from Oct 2025 with no place/income caps but price caps), Help to Buy shared equity, and Commonwealth Rent Assistance for eligible payment recipients. However, recent statements from Andrew Leigh indicate a shift away from allowing access to superannuation for housing, citing concerns over rising house prices and impacts on retirement savings.

Australian Labor Party

Housing Affordability

Increase social and affordable housing supply, support first-home buyers, and reform planning to deliver more homes, while critically assessing the impact of accessing superannuation on housing prices and retirement savings.

Australian Greens

Housing Affordability

Implement nationwide rent caps, build more public and community housing, and reform negative gearing.

Liberal Party of Australia

Housing

Liberal platform material emphasises increasing housing supply through planning and approval reform, supporting first-home buyers, and relying primarily on private construction rather than large public build funds, while also highlighting concerns about the long-term financial impacts of Labor's policies on families and small businesses.

Pauline Hanson's One Nation

Housing

One Nation’s housing policy focuses on reducing demand by cutting immigration levels and banning foreign ownership of Australian properties. They have indicated opposition to Labor's capital gains tax (CGT) discount for foreign investors while suggesting a more supportive stance towards CGT concessions for Australians. They have not specified positions on programs like the Commonwealth Rent Assistance (CRA), Help to Buy, or the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF).
