‘Pick up the pace': National Housing Accord ‘fell short' last year as demand increased
'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.'

Labor is unwilling to do a ‘deal for deal's sake' with the US
Former Australian ambassador to the US Arthur Sinodinos says the Albanese government is unwilling to "do a deal for a deal's sake" with the Trump administration to get exemptions from tariffs. "The government is not rushing to do a deal for a deal's sake, they have been wanting to do a deal for free trade with the US but not on terms which were disadvantageous for us, so that's the stage I think we've reached," Mr Sinodinos told Sky News Australia.

"We should be able to work with China to enrich our trade, that is one way in soft diplomatic terms to keep stability in our region, but just understand the consequences of particularly emerging technologies and what that might do."
