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

I was just taking the parliament through where those opposite have got themselves in terms of first home buyers. I want to give you the list. They want to scrap Help to Buy, a program that does nothing more than help 10,000 first home owners get into the market every year. They've told us that they want to wind back the five per cent deposit program, a program that has helped 260,000 Australians get into a home of their own. Now they're saying that, if they win the next election, they're going to come into this parliament and they're going to choose to use taxpayer dollars to subsidise investors over first home buyers at every single auction across this country.

Those opposite are competing on outrage. We are focused on opportunity. They're the only ones left defending a housing system that isn't working. We're getting on with the job of making it better.
