Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton clashed over housing policies, with Albanese defending Labor’s plan of 5% deposits and $10 billion for 100,000 new homes against expert criticism predicting price increases. Dutton promoted his tax break for mortgage interest while expressing concern for his children’s housing prospects, indicating a willingness to assist them financially. Albanese refrained from discussing his son’s situation, while Treasurer Jim Chalmers criticized the Coalition’s plan as a “cost-of-living con job,” asserting clear differences between the parties’ approaches to housing.
