Thanks very much, Mr Speaker, and to the honourable member for her question. I will speak to colleagues about that specific parcel of land that the honourable member refers to. I know that you've raised it with us in good faith, and we will check it out. On our approach to social housing more broadly, we've built about 5,000 social and affordable homes already. There are another 25,000 in planning or construction. That's because, unlike our predecessors, we are taking this housing challenge very seriously. We know that in different communities around Australia there are different opportunities to build more social and community housing. As we go about that important task, we'll be as consultive as we can be.
