My question is to the Minister for Housing. I refer her to her trainwreck interview this morning on ABC News Breakfast.

Honourable members interjecting

Order! The minister for the environment will cease interjecting. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition is entitled to ask her question, and she will be heard in silence. I just also ask her to temper her language as well, as I have done with ministers before.

My question is to the Minister for Housing. I refer to her unfortunate interview this morning on ABC News Breakfast. The Liberal and National parties categorically rule out ever taxing the family home. Will the minister join us and rule out categorically ever taxing the family home?

Order! The minister for resources will cease interjecting.

As I said in the interview, we absolutely are not doing anything for the family home that the member is indicating we are.
