#BREAKINGNEWS
It’s NSW Budget Day! But don’t be bored, I'm incredibly proud of this one.
Today we're announcing the Building Homes for NSW Program - the largest ever public housing investment in NSW Government history.
This is once in a generation opportunity that will re-build our public housing after a decade of neglect and deliver 30,000 homes to confront the housing crisis.

By turning away from social housing and prioritising tax breaks for investors, governments have pushed up the cost of housing for everyone. A #FairHousingFuture is possible.

‘You can’t ignore the rules of political physics forever’ - very important point from Zach Smith @CFMEU.
The time is coming when our community are going to wonder why they’re struggling to put food on the table, while multimillion dollar companies reap exorbitant profits.
Labor for Housing retweeted
This is the kind of big policy that can end the housing crisis.
I’m sick of hearing there’s not enough money for housing - there is enough money, it’s just sitting with multimillion dollar companies…
Fabulous work @CFMEU & Zach Smith!

If we’re not careful as a Labor party, voters - particularly millennials and Gen Z voters - will come for us like they came for the Coalition on climate change. We need greater supply and brave housing policy. Now. @HousingLabor

On my feet at @VictorianLabor state conference for my fave topic: #mandatory #inclusionary #zoning (not joking) - lots of it please – at Melbourne, Victoria

Hat tip to @julijana_tod, @johnweber94 & all involved in @HousingLabor for their fierce internal advocacy for increased investment in housing. Achieving actions not words from inside the tent rather than shouting from the sidelines! #viclaborconf23 #springst #auspol

When we could have been putting the wheels in motion to get $10b of social & aff housing built.
This is an utter disgrace. @HousingLabor
Labor for Housing retweeted
The ‘if’s’ and ‘buts’ don’t matter.
@Greens voted with the Liberals to block $10b worth of social/aff housing.
The Housing Future Fund isn’t the silver bullet that will solve our crisis. But tonight, thousands of people will choose between rent and food 1/2

In case you needed more reason that the Greens do not care about our most vulnerable, here it is. At @HousingLabor we will ALWAYS support any new housing commitments AND continue fighting for more.
Can confirm - walking and chewing gum is possible.

In 4 months you will have the chance to vote for a Labor Govt. that believes housing a human right.

It's homelessness week so it's a good chance to remind you that that the NSW Govt. has sold off $3.1 billion worth of public housing.

Great to catch up with new MP for Parramatta @Charlton_AB and get his pledge to support the need to #BuildSocialHousing @_EverybodysHome @AntiPovertyWeek

The Albanese Government is building 30,000 social and affordable housing properties to give more Australians the security of a roof over their head.
@albomp is a Prime Minister who gets the importance of this and it was great to have him in Tassie to demonstrate this commitment

This is what a shortage of 400,000 affordable homes across the country really looks like. I spent the arvo with this 4-yr-old who lives in a tent in a campsite on the Sth Coast with her 5-yr-old brother, and her parents (thread)

In 2021/22 the entire budget for social housing and homelessness of 1.616b was eclipsed by the 1.777b spent on homebuilder - arguably inflating prices instead of supporting the housing need of the most vulnerable. Strange priority.
Labor for Housing retweeted
We ask that all Labor-endorsed councillors pledge to support affordable housing projects for Victorians in need. Without them, we won’t end homelessness and make Victoria a fairer place for all.

I just love a Sunday that starts with the Victorian Government investing $5.3 billion to #BuildSocialHousing and affordable housing
Now come on Federal Government - if you invest too, this will be even more MEGA awesome! #EverybodysHome @rwynnemp @CHPVic
