I'd prefer they use the funding to build houses or raise jobseeker tbh....

$44m over their term is about 15 houses per year. Considering they plan to bring in 400,000 new migrants per year, I’m not sure defunding women’s sports to build 15 houses is really going to make much of a dent in the housing market.

It’s a 3 year term. $1m per house.

Even if you turn them into townhouses at half that price, 30 houses Vs 400,000 new people doesn’t really shift the needle.
