Under the Liberals, the average time taken to build a house in Tasmania has increased by nearly 50 per cent and housing approvals are at their lowest levels since 2016. According to the ABS, just 168 new homes were approved last month – the worst result since October 2016. We’ve got record demand, rising rents, growing homelessness, and building approvals going backwards. It’s clear the system is gridlocked, and Tasmanians are paying the price.
