I was actually in the party room, and I am not sure about ‘a brainstorming session’. As I have said in this place, if those opposite were paying attention, we have made a substantive investment in a new relationship with the private sector. The private sector can be trusted to deliver. I know that if we invest $10 billion over 10 years with the private sector, we will not be scrabbling around and wondering why we had absolutely zero houses, which is what we had from Labor. There will be a new and refreshed relationship with the private sector, because Australians deserve to have a better deal in terms of housing affordability. That is exactly what this government are going to deliver, because we have strong leadership and they have none.
