News live: Bragg backtracks on claim low-income Australians should accept ‘sub-standard’ homes; former CFMEU boss John Setka charged

New South Wales Attorney General David Elliott's predecessor, Michael Bragg, has changed his stance on the quality of housing for low-income Australians. He initially suggested that they should accept homes that are not up to standard, but has now backtracked on this claim. This reversal is significant because it shows a shift in the government's approach to addressing housing affordability issues, which could have implications for the construction and real estate sectors.

Why it matters

The news about low-income housing and gambling inducements is a domestic issue. It may have some impact on the Australian economy, but it is not clear how it will affect the markets.
