‘Tokenistic’: Albanese government ‘does not’ have a plan for housing

Liberal Senator Dave Sharma has accused the Albanese government of being “tokenistic” as they “do not” have a plan for housing. Labor is hoping to push through multiple bills during parliament’s final sitting week of the year. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has rejected the Greens’ latest demand on Labor’s housing policy. “I don’t think they have a plan for housing,” Mr Sharma told Sky News Australia. “They’ve got a discredited state government scheme which is not being taken up in the states. “Our solution is to unplug the arteries and allow more housing to be built and to reduce immigration to take pressure off the housing stock. “What we’ve got from this government is tokenistic, and it’s not surprising that both ourselves but also other political parties in the parliament are opposed to it.”
