ACT寻求联邦免除66M公共住房债务,以扩大等待名单上3 500人的住房。 ACT seeks federal forgiveness of $66M public housing debt to expand housing amid 3,500 on waitlist.

澳大利亚首都直辖区敦促联邦政府免除1989年6 600万美元的公共住房债务,这笔债务每年需要330万美元利息,限制了新的住房投资。 The Australian Capital Territory is urging the federal government to forgive its $66 million public housing debt from 1989, which costs $3.3 million in annual interest and limits new housing investments. 澳大利亚首都直辖区领导人和参议员认为,尽管人口增长,但仍需要取消债务来增加供应,因为等待名单上有3 500多户家庭,而且建造的新公共住宅很少。 With over 3,500 households on the waiting list and minimal new public homes built despite population growth, ACT leaders and senators argue debt cancellation is needed to boost supply. 联邦政府指出,现有资金,包括用于400所新住房的2.65亿美元,足以并反对免除债务,而反对派和格林斯则就财政责任和住房政策的广泛影响进行辩论。 The federal government points to existing funding, including $265 million for 400 new homes, as sufficient and opposes debt waivers, while opposition and Greens debate the broader implications of fiscal responsibility and housing policy.
