It is an unfortunate fact that due largely to the previous Labor Government's failure to release land, a massive spike in housing prices occurred in about 2006, thereby making the dream of home ownership more difficult to achieve. The Liberal-National Government is tackling housing affordability head on with a range of strategies including the one outlined by the Member.
(a) 425 from 1 June 2011 to 9 October 2011.
(b) 759 from 1 September 2008 to 31 May 2011.
(c) 1 073
(d) Property availability, provider capacity and objectives.
