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

I'm asked about some of the alternatives, and, last week, Australians got a really clear look at what they are. We saw the Liberals vote against first home buyers, we saw the Nationals vote against first home buyers and we saw One Nation vote against first home buyers. The three right-wing parties are teaming up to disadvantage first home buyers at every single auction in our country. They're opposed to the expansion of the five per cent deposit program; those opposite say it's supporting the children of billionaires. They want to scrap Help to Buy. Let's be really clear. Under those opposite, Nicholas and Anthea would still be stuck in renting, many of the 260,000 Australians who have bought their home through the five per cent deposit program would still be stuck in renting, and the 75,000 Australian households that will go out of renting and into their own home through our tax changes would also be consigned to renting. You can't claim to support first home buyers and then repeatedly vote against meaningful change that's going to support them. We've seen the evidence; those opposite are the only man left standing, defending our broken housing system. We're delivering real change for first home buyers right across the country.
