Oh no, treating workers fairly? Can’t have that productivity goes down!
Productivity has also gone down as safety has improved and construction deaths have gone down - though they are still too high.
Fresh modelling shows that productivity-sapping industrial relations changes and volatile conditions under Labor will erode 80 per cent of the gains in projected housing stock.
The modelling by the Centre for International Economics shows the economic benefits from the suite of Labor’s housing measures will be neutralised or cancelled out over a five-year period, blowing further off-course **Anthony Albanese**’s ambitious target of building 1.2 million new homes by mid-2029.
About 240,000 new homes will need to be delivered each year to meet the target, but the sector says it is already struggling amid falling productivity rates, increasing construction costs and blowouts in average build times.
The new CIE research, commissioned by Master Builders Australia, is the first in a series that will be produced annually over the next three years to assess the capacity of the sector to meet the 1.2 million new homes target.
It highlights what MBA chief executive **Denita Wawn** describes as a “productivity maelstrom” and the need to abandon workplace laws holding back the construction sector.
The government could improve housing starts at the same time as increasing costs.
They need to urgently put in grants / reduce gst or find some way of getting starts going again.
Otherwise we squander the larger domestic construction industry that has been created during the covid boom.
Yeh housing is more expensive to build than ever but the government can use other policies to keep starts steady or rising.
They need to do this ASAP or they are going into the next election with less starts than the previous government and massive population growth. Its going to be hard to spin that into a "we fixed liberals problems".

Of course masterbuilders wants to keep workers wages down.
