If those opposite got out more and spoke to people, they would know that people in their electorates are saying the housing system is broken in this country, and we need to fix it—just like the shadow Treasurer has said, just like the member for Canning has said and just like the former treasurer Joe Hockey said, up in that corner before he left the building.

We believe, on this side, that when you have the power to affect real change, you should do it—that you have a responsibility to deliver real change. That is what we are doing through this. We are taking every dollar of tax from these measures and delivering income tax cuts over the forward estimates, making sure that we set up Australia for the future so that future generations don't say, 'Is it true, dad or mum, that there was a time where people were actually able to buy their own house, not just inherit it?' That is what we are fighting for. We are fighting for things that really matter because that's what the Labor Party does.
