Shadow Housing Minister Michael Sukkar claims the Federal Government won't meet its five year housing target. The Federal and State and Territory governments aim to build 1.2 million new well located homes over 5 years from mid‑2024. 

But Shadow Housing Minister Michael Sukkar says if the Coalition is elected they won't keep the target, but will "build as many homes as we possibly can" but says they won't "lie to Australians" as he claims the Government is.

He says the Coalition "will spend money that's effective not just a gesture" hinting the Coalition may be considering cutting back funding to States and Territories.
