Victoria has committed to 800,000 new homes over the next decade. 80,000/year or ~219 new homea/day....7 days a week over that period.I think it was @Immortality who commented on the state of the building industry in Aus.
" 2349 construction firms have collapsed in the past year — with fears more may fall soon.
.....of the 8471 business collapses for 2023, almost 28 per cent were in the building and construction industry, according to data put out by the corporate regulator."
And Albo reckons he can more than double the historic rate of new home construction in this country.
One year in, and new home approvals are at decade low levels as simply one metric of failure to measure it against.
The project was destined to be a flop from the start. Sounds grandiose but like most things governments touch will bloat, overrun and fall apart.
I think the biggest sign it will won't meet it's target is that they've put serial failure, Jerome Weinmar in charge. Have spoken before about his chequered past and also the amount of money the government shovel in his direction. Puts private sector bonuses to shame. Regardless of the results he is continually rewarded for being a good "yes man".
