Clare O'Neil (Hotham, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Housing) Share this | Hansard source

I don't want to just speak about the record of the Liberals. We can't forget the Nationals in this discussion. I want to see if the parliament can remember how many social and affordable homes the Nationals built in the whole of rural and regional Australia when they were in power. How many was it? It was absolutely none. Not a single home was built in regional and rural Australia by those people sitting opposite.

We have got a long way to go on housing, but our government has the most ambitious housing plan that the Commonwealth has had in this country for 70 years. We started in 2022, we built on it in the budget and we'll keep fighting because we believe that every person in this country should have a safe roof over their head.
