Thank you, Deputy Speaker Wallace. I could never agree with that statement, because if people don't have jobs, they can't afford to buy their own home. If they don't have a job, they can't even contribute to their superannuation. So, even if you're part of the madness of the Australian Labor Party that's put super before homeownership, it is directly connected to the consequences of this motion.

As a Liberal, I believe that people should be able to make decisions based on the slipstream of their life: home first, super second, because it is the greatest form of economic democratisation in our nation. It empowers families and individuals to be able to be the foundation of the success of our country and to own our country. I make no apology in standing very firmly, on this motion or any, about how important homeownership is.
