He said better data about the extent of affordable housing needed to be a priority, along with better quality standards for dwellings including energy efficiency and accessibility for people with disabilities. Mr Shorten is remaining defiant in the face of fierce attacks from the coalition and real estate heavyweights over Labor's plans to reform negative gearing. Before the end of the year, which is looming, we will have a lot more to say about our plans for housing and homelessness and we'll explain how we'll pay, the opposition leader said.
