I know that Senator Webber and Senator Murray will be pleased that I had to learn a bit about economics in this process, and I am working through it. The need is something that we can all agree on. How, in fact, the land will be made available is something that we can move towards. The National Housing Supply Research Council will work to improve the evidence base for housing policy. As I said at the beginning of my short comments, this issue of evidence and research is something that we all agreed must be a key plank of where we go into the future. The whole area of first home saver accounts will come up in discussion in the future. (Time expired)
