I want to thank the member for Fraser for his question. The member for Fraser and I share a pretty simple belief. We want to live in a country where ordinary Australians can get the opportunity to own their own home. But he knows and I know that too many of our constituents spend their weekends in rental queues, dozens of people deep, looking at homes that they don't even really want to live in. We have a generation of low- and middle-income people who are stuck in rent traps, who feel anger and despair at the notion that homeownership feels out of reach.
