Australia PM, trailing in election polls, announces housing policy

Hindustan Times  

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a housing policy on Sunday aimed at boosting home ownership and reducing prices, as his government lags the opposition Labor Party days before a general election. Australians will vote for a government on Saturday, with recent polls showing Morrison's Liberal-National coalition on track to lose to centre-left Labor. Morrison's Liberal Party will formally launch its campaign in Brisbane on Sunday, with Morrison expected to detail the policy at the event in a last-ditch appeal to voters. “I want to help more and more young families right across Australia to move into their own home and support their aspiration,” Morrison said in a statement on Sunday.
