No worries, Mr Speaker. Just like we've got a plan to fix the broken energy market and skills shortages, we've also got a plan to help address the housing affordability and supply challenges in our economy. We said we would tackle these challenges, and we will, because we know it's part of the broader inflation challenge in our economy.

The Housing Australia Future Fund, which will build more social and affordable homes under the oversight of the housing minister, will be a really important thing for us to do as a country. The new National Housing Accord, an agreement with state and territory governments, local governments, the building industry and the super sector, will also build a substantial number of new homes.
