Hume noted that the Coalition's strategy to reduce migration and temporarily ban foreign investors could potentially free up around 300,000 homes, although this figure contrasts with the Coalition's own estimate of 100,000 homes.

Opposition finance spokeswoman Jane Hume has criticized the government's approach, asserting that it has not effectively facilitated shovel-ready projects.

Dutton highlighted that many housing developments are currently stalled due to a lack of funding for critical infrastructure.

A notable aspect of the Coalition's proposal is a 'use it or lose it' policy, which mandates that stakeholders must advance approved sites within 12 months.

Hume further pointed out that the Housing Australia Future Fund, which aims to support the construction of 1.2 million new homes, has yet to yield any completed houses despite incurring significant borrowing costs.

Senior ministers have voiced their disapproval of the Coalition's housing plan, arguing that it is nearly identical to the current strategies employed by the Labor government.

The Coalition's strategy also includes grants and concessional loans designed to expedite shovel-ready infrastructure for greenfield development.

In contrast, the Labor Government has already allocated $1 billion to State and Territory governments for enabling infrastructure and social housing, with deadlines set for mid-2026.

Industrial Relations Minister Murray Watt emphasized that the public is more concerned about the completion of infrastructure rather than which government is overseeing the funding.

Watt also criticized Dutton's plan, claiming it closely resembles the Labor Government's existing $1.5 billion housing support program.

An additional $450 million has been earmarked for local councils and state governments to enhance transport upgrades and community services.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has unveiled a substantial $5 billion investment plan aimed at developing essential infrastructure such as roads, water, and power to support the construction of 500,000 new homes.
