My question is to the Minister for Social Services. The government said it was committing to providing more social and affordable housing in the longer term. However, families in Fowler and Western Sydney need immediate solutions to keep a roof over their heads. It's been reported that rental assistance needs to increase by 50 per cent to keep in line with the rising cost of living, which is leading to overcrowding and increasing homelessness across Western Sydney. When will the government increase rental assistance to help tackle the current cost-of-living crisis?
