Sydney University Senior Lecturer Dr Peter Chen says US President Donald Trump set an 'extremely aggressive timeline' on getting the Big Beautiful Bill passed, while mentioning that his 'detractors' are now in a 'very weakened position'. 'There are really three aspects to the bill that I think we're going to be talking about over the next year, year and a half,' Mr Chen told Sky News Australia. 'He set an extremely aggressive timeline on it, to get it done by the fourth of July. 'It's extremely kind of symbolic for him.

‘Pick up the pace': National Housing Accord ‘fell short' last year as demand increased
Housing Industry Association Managing Director Jocelyn Martin says the National Housing Accord to deliver 1.2 million homes over five years 'fell short' last year, and needs to 'pick up the pace' to satisfy Australia's housing demand. 'It's 12 months on since the announcement of 1.2 million homes over five years, which on average is 240 thousand homes a year,' Ms Martin told Sky News Australia. 'Last year we fell well short of that – we were just shy of 170 thousand homes, so definitely going to need to pick up the pace if we're going to even come close to building the amount of homes that Australia needs to satisfy the demand.'

‘Relatively cohesive': Donald Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' will ‘reindustrialise the US'
United States Studies Centre Honorary Associate Harry Melkonian says US President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill is 'relatively cohesive' with plans to 'reindustrialise the US'. 'This bill is so complex, they've taken away the special tax breaks for buying electric cars, but they have now granted deductions for auto loans for the purchase of any automobile that's made in the US,' Dr Melkonian told Sky News Australia. 'It's all relatively cohesive with his plan to reindustrialise the US.'
