The House Party is committed to ensuring that every individual has access to safe, affordable, and sustainable housing. We believe that housing is a fundamental human right and essential for the well-being and stability of our communities. To address the housing crisis, we propose a comprehensive policy that includes taxing foreign owners of residential property, taxing owners of empty homes, and investing in the construction of new and affordable housing.

Solving Australia’s housing crisis

  • The Housing Crisis is real and impacts all of us. Fairer housing policies will make Australia a better place to live for all of us. Housing impacts every part of society. If we fix the housing crisis this will have ripple effects on many other areas on Australian society. Improved access to affordable housing will enhance economic stability by reducing financial stress on households, allowing more disposable income to be spent on other goods and services, thereby stimulating the economy. It will also contribute to better mental and physical health outcomes as stable living conditions reduce stress and provide a safe environment for families. Furthermore, resolving the housing crisis can lead to greater social cohesion, as people from diverse backgrounds are better integrated into communities, and can reduce homelessness, thereby addressing associated social issues like crime and unemployment.

  • House Party supports access to housing for all, whether you rent or own your home. About 30% of households rent. Rentals are a significant part of our society and our economy and should be supported, not exploited.

  • Join the House Party to support fair and equitable housing policies.

  • To become a registered political party, the House Party needs to lodge a membership list of at least 1,500 members as part of its application to the Australian Electoral Commission.
