Senator Andrew Bragg

Date: August 12, 2026 11:30 am

Senator Andrew Bragg, Shadow Minister for Housing and Homelessness and Shadow Minister for the Environment, will Address the National Press Club on β€œAustralia’s housing necessities” amidst the huge pressure on the traditional Australian political system.

It is clear Australians are frustrated with the direction of the nation and their own personal fortunes. The disruption of normal politics is an opportunity to be bolder and clearer about what’s wrong and how to fix it.

Housing sits at the centre of the frustration but it cannot be separated from the vacuum of leadership Australia faces as we continue to stagger through the lowest level of ambition in our nation in decades. 

More money and more bureaucracy for fewer homes is a good example of the disease Australia is fighting off: waste, incompetence, corruption and communism. 

It’s time to change Australia’s trajectory and restore our future.
