May 2012
Shelter NSW staff member Craig Johnston has analysed the 2012-13 Commonwealth Budget for housing. It was very much a 'business as usual' Budget, in terms of assistance programs for Australians disadvantaged in housing markets. The Budget did not include proposals put forward by a number of non-profits, such as establishing a separate growth fund for affordable rental housing, increasing funding to the National Rental Affordability Scheme, and increasing the maximum rate of Rent Assistance by 30%.

September 2011
Shelter NSW staff member Craig Johnston analysed the state Budget of 2011, commenting that its most significant aspect was that it was a deficit Budget as a result of new spending commitments by the newly-elected O'Farrell government. It also included some supply-side initiatives on housing affordability. There was no new funding of affordable housing: the state government subsidy to housing assistance programs was lower than what it was before the Economic Stimulus period.
