"The Howard Government today announced a major shake up of the delivery of public and community housing across Australia to drive an increase in availability. " I am announcing that for the next CSHA from July 2008, we will immediately invite expressions of interest from all parties, including state and territory governments, the non-government sector and the private sector such as major builders and any other interested individuals, groups or organisations, for their proposals and ideas on new and innovative approaches to using the available funds to increase affordable housing supply."This represents an innovative and dynamic shift in approach which will help ensure more effective use is made of Australian taxpayer funds to increase housing supply."
