The best way to boost housing supply is to build more houses
Labor’s plan to build more houses is good, but it’s not new and it’s not radical. The Defence Housing Authority has been building houses and renting them out/selling them on for decades

Given exports account for 80 per cent of Australia's gas sales, he argues that even a small diversion of uncontracted export gas would add significantly to the domestic market, which would secure domestic supplies and ease prices.
