Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion to agree with the Senate's amendments. This means that the final form of the bill has now been agreed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate and so will now become law.
There was one rebel voter, with Bass MP Bridget Archer (Liberal) crossing the floor to vote "Yes" against the rest of her party.
What does the bill do?
According to the bills digest (which is prepared by the parliamentary library):
The Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) is created by Housing Australia Future Fund Bill 2023 (the HAFF Bill). The purpose of the HAFF is to create a dedicated investment vehicle to support and increase the funding of social and affordable housing, as well as other acute housing needs. These ‘acute needs’ include (but are not limited to) improving housing in Indigenous communities and providing housing services for women, children and veterans. The HAFF Bill sets out the governance of the HAFF, and the ‘architecture’ for how investments into and out of the HAFF will be managed and directed.
