Oliver Peterson: Australian correspondent on Anthony Albanese's plan to 'unlock' 100,000 new homes for first home buyers - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Ahead of the Australian election, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has unveiled a new housing policy designed to 'unlock' 100,000 new homes for first home buyers.

This scheme will only be available to first home buyers and the Government plans to make it easier to get approval for a mortgage.

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says it's unlikely this promise will be able to address the root of the issue.
