The Centre for Independent Studies’ chief economist Peter Tulip appeared before a Senate committee on Tuesday. He expressed support for the federal government’s target of building 1.2 million homes in five years. However, Tulip contended that the government’s Help to Buy shared equity scheme is a "trivial distraction" from real solutions to address the housing affordability crisis; he warned that the scheme will only benefit 40,000 home buyers, while increasing house prices and rents for all Australians. The Coalition opposes the scheme, while the Greens are demanding a number of concessions to gain their support.
