Jesse Wilton, the listing agent, said this: 'We had a first home buyer, a young family and a young couple bidding on it, and it went to the first home buyer.'

In Geelong it happened as well. Adam Natonewski, the selling agent, said this:

The first-home buyer did win it by a knife's edge at the end. They just threw an extra $500 bid on top, and were the eventual purchasers.

Guess what? If they were bidding versus an investor, the investor would know that they could go more than $500 more, because they'd have a taxpayer onside. That is the difference that it makes—the difference that we are already making to people getting an opportunity in life. The quote, of course—always worry about what they actually say, because the member for Forde's, who I was asked about, question was about the Liberals closing of the car industry. That is what his comment was about, because those opposite are against jobs, they're against living standards being improved, and they're against first home buyers.
