Core Value ENTERPRISE
For families to flourish they must be able to secure the Australian dream of home ownership. The economy must be restructured so a young family can raise children, own a home and achieve a comfortable living on one wage, if they so choose.
Family First will work to ensure the Australian dream can become a reality by:
- Releasing more land for housing construction;
- Reducing the red and green tape which significantly increases housing costs;
- Working with State Governments and Local Councils, remove unnecessary and excessive compliance requirements on all new homes;
- Supporting modular housing;
- Extending the first home buyers grant to existing houses;
- Modifying the Pension Assets & Income test to allow pensioners to sell their family home and downsize without financial penalty, thereby freeing up homes for younger families;
- Banning any further foreign ownership of Australian land or houses, where the privilege isn’t reciprocated, including by entities with over 50% foreign ownership;
- Significantly reducing immigration to a manageable intake so that housing supply and infrastructure can be stabilised.
