Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I point out to the minister, just in case he misunderstood my original question, that all of the places and areas I named are in New South Wales. None of them are in South Australia. Doesn’t the government’s own backbench know that the government has dropped the ball on housing affordability? Hasn’t the Howard government had 11 long years in office to help families who cannot afford housing? Why is it that after 11 years the best the Howard government can do is to get out the whiteboard in the party room and try and cobble together a desperate pre-election stunt?
