The National Housing Accord is really critical, and we want to make sure that all states and territories have plans to get there. That's about land release, it's about zoning, it's about density—particularly around appropriate public transport routes—and it is about making sure that we increase supply, because that is what will make the big difference.

I must say that first ministers have been very positive and constructive about this, and I'm confident that next week we will have some really good results and outcomes that will lead to what the member for Wentworth wants to see, which is real change making a real difference out there. The other thing that first ministers all emphasised to me is the need to pass the Housing Australia Future Fund, because that's an important component. It's just one, but it's an important component when it comes to increasing housing supply. (Time expired)
