Thank you so much, Speaker. I'd just say to those opposite that it helps, when you come to the dispatch box on questions like this, to have a leg to stand on. And I just remind those opposite that they had nine years in office. They did not raise Commonwealth Rent Assistance once in the time they were in office. They didn't do anything about rental standards. In fact, remember, they were so checked out of housing that for most of that nine years they didn't even have a Commonwealth housing minister.
