Housing Minister Clare O’Neil does not believe the answer to Australia’s housing crisis is to slow down infrastructure, after a review recommended federal and state governments should stop spending money on major projects.A report from the NSW Productivity Commission says governments are diverting resources from home building to public infrastructure projects, making housing more unaffordable.“Australian governments have spent significantly on major infrastructure over the past 10 years.
Speaking on Seven’s Sunrise this morning, O’Neil argued taking resources away from infrastructure projects was not the answer.“I don’t think the answer is slowing down much needed infrastructure in our states and ultimately the state governments do need to balance this complex kind of demand for housing with infrastructure,” she said.
