The local member also says a Coalition Government would also free up more than 100,000 homes by:
- Reducing migration numbers
- Putting a two-year ban on foreign investors and temporary residents purchasing existing homes
- Working with the building and construction industry and bringing in people on skilled visas to support local tradies
- Tackling union corruption that has contributed to driving up the costs of building by 30 per cent
- Freezing further changes to the National Construction Code to ease red tape and compliance burdens for builders
