THE Morrison government has pinned its re-election hopes on the Budget 2022 with funding for housing, infrastructure, childcare, aged care and manufacturing supply chains but Treasurer Josh Frydenberg ignored the government’s own recommendations to stimulate the build-to-rent sector and missed the opportunity to reform the taxation system.
It was no surprise that the budget’s signature piece was investment in housing as it becomes increasingly clear that homeownership will be a major deciding factor in upcoming election.
