Today we've got the students and young people here from the National Leadership Forum joining us in the gallery. I want to take this opportunity to speak to you directly, because this place is where your future is created and where it's protected.

We just heard the prior speaker—classic spin over substance! And if there's one thing to take away from your trip to Canberra, it's to look at the facts. There is absolutely no truth in the 'fact' that the housing crisis took 40 years; it has taken four years, under this Labor government. And what have they done this week? They have reheated, re-announced, a policy from our housing minister, announced in 2019. They're a bit slow to the party—six years down the track! That is why there's a housing crisis.

And today, ladies and gentlemen, you will see the Minister for Climate Change and Energy come in here. And, on another topic that's important to the youth of Australia—you care about the climate; you care about results—have a look at what has been happening with emissions reductions over the last three years. They have flatlined. This Labor government is all talk and no reductions. That's what's going on: a flat line now; actual gains under the coalition.

Welcome to all those students. There are multiple models of leadership, and let's hope you're all wise to select them yourselves. Let's go to the member for Solomon.
