Affordable Housing for Queenslanders

Queenslanders are in the grips of an affordability crisis, driven significantly by rental insecurity and mortgage stress.

Premier David Crisafulli was elected on the promise that he would fix the housing crisis, but things have only gotten worse as house prices soar and rents runaway under the LNP’s watch.

While the housing squeeze locks Queenslanders out of a home, the Premier and his Deputy have taken an axe to 10,000 social and affordable homes, making it harder for our teachers, nurses, and frontline workers to get a foot in the door.

The housing affordability crisis has also pushed more people towards the social housing waitlist, while the LNP makes it harder for those sleeping rough to receive the help they need.

The Crisafulli LNP Government has proven time and time again they will put profits over people. Profits over affordable housing, as evidenced by their senseless decision to ban developers from delivering affordable housing targets, even if they want to build it.

Queensland Labor wants to drive the solution to help get young Queenslanders into their first home, to boost supply and to address affordability.

It’s why we’ve embarked on this journey, to hear from the experts to create credible, informed, evidence-based plans for Queensland’s future.

It’s never been more unaffordable to buy or rent a home.

Premier David Crisafulli said that he would fix the housing crisis, but things have only gotten worse with soaring house prices and runaway rents right across the state.
