Australian Labor Party party platform
Labor's Homes for Australia plan commits to building 1.2 million homes by the end of the decade, including 40,000 social and affordable rental homes through the $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund, 5% deposits for all first home buyers with a government loan guarantee, limiting negative gearing for residential property to new builds from 1 July 2027, and extending the ban on foreign investors buying existing homes to mid-2029.
Liberal Party party platform
The party's plan states net overseas migration will be capped each year based on the number of new homes completed, and commits to a $5 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund to help unlock up to 400,000 homes by funding water, sewerage, power and access-road infrastructure, simplifying the National Construction Code to cut the cost of building a new home by up to $70,000, and allowing first home buyers to access up to $50,000 from superannuation for a deposit.
Australian Greens party platform
The platform proposes phasing out negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount for investors with more than one property, capping rent increases, and creating a federally owned public property developer to deliver 610,000 affordable homes over a decade, with a large share offered as capped-rent public and affordable rentals. It states that public housing should not be privatised or sold.
Victorian Socialists party platform
The party proposes building 1 million new public housing units over a decade via a public builder, a five-year freeze on rent increases (based on 2022 prices) with subsequent caps tied to CPI or wage growth, a National Rental Inspectorate to set minimum rental standards, scrapping negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount on investment properties, mandatory 30 percent public housing inclusionary zoning in major new developments, and seizure of properties left vacant for 12 months for allocation to the public housing waitlist.
The Nationals party platform
The party's policy commits $5 billion to unlock up to 500,000 homes, with a target of 30 per cent of that funding for enabling infrastructure in rural and regional Australia, makes the Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee and Family Home Guarantee ongoing, allows first home buyers (including older women and women fleeing domestic violence) to access up to $50,000 from superannuation for a deposit, and includes a two-year ban on foreign investors and temporary residents purchasing existing homes.
Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party party platform
The party's policy states the housing crisis is driven by too little supply and too high demand, and would reduce demand by capping immigration at 130,000 and banning foreign ownership of residential property. Supply-side measures include a five-year GST moratorium on building materials for new homes up to $1 million, streamlining land releases and building approvals, releasing under-utilised government land, and allowing tax-free renting of rooms and granny flats.
Animal Justice Party party platform
The party states everyone has a right to safe and secure housing, supports rapidly increasing social and affordable housing supply, tenancy law reforms including prohibiting "no grounds" evictions, protecting the right to rent with animals and limiting rent increases in line with CPI, and supports gradually adjusting Capital Gains Tax and negative gearing plus holding charges for vacant properties.
Family First Party party platform
Family First's housing policy focuses on releasing more land and reducing red tape to increase housing supply and lower prices, and it links high immigration levels to housing affordability pressure, calling for reduced net overseas migration to ease demand.
Legalise Cannabis Party party platform
The party promotes hemp-based construction (hempcrete) as offering stronger, greener and fire-resistant homes, particularly valuable in bushfire-prone regions, framing it as a step toward tackling the housing crisis; it calls for hemp to be classified in the National Construction Code and for procurement and infrastructure contracts to consider industrial hemp in developments.
Libertarian Party party platform
Its WA state platform calls for streamlining zoning laws, cutting developer levies, and releasing state government land for housing to address housing affordability.
Centre Alliance party platform
Proposes a housing affordability taskforce to reduce red tape and taxes, states residents should not be priced out of the housing market by foreign investors, and proposes modifying negative gearing to encourage new affordable housing stock.
Jacqui Lambie Network party platform
States it secured redirection of Tasmanian housing debt relief funds into homelessness services and public housing, and proposes preventing foreign nationals from buying Australian houses for three years while cutting red tape to boost housing supply.
Australia's Voice party platform
Proposes limiting negative gearing and reducing the capital gains tax discount from 50% to 25% (phased down 5% per year over five years), stating this would raise funds for social housing and curb rising rents.
Australian Christians party platform
The party's economic policy proposes improving housing affordability through zero stamp duty for eligible first home buyers and elderly downsizers, and supports increasing the foreign buyer surcharge on residential property.
Democratic Labour Party party platform
The party's housing policy states all public housing must be owned and titled by federal, state or municipal governments, with rents capped at 25% of earnings (15% for people in ill health or with disability) and public housing offered for sale to tenants crediting the last ten years' rent as a deposit; it proposes fast-tracking residential land development, a First Home Buyers register guaranteeing an offer of vacant land within 12 months at a set price, ending negative gearing on second and subsequent investment properties, and discouraging foreign buyers through measures including a 17.5% tax on foreign purchases of residential property.
United Australia Party party platform
The New Deal commits $1 trillion to a national housing program to increase supply, fast-track development approvals and support home ownership, including a Housing Lending Authority offering loans at 2% above government borrowing rates for up to 90% of a home's cost and a National Insurance Corporation to guarantee gap deposits and housing loans. The party has also proposed capping all home loan interest rates at 3% for five years.
