Senator, I will actually give you some data. If you request data, we will give you some data. In terms of the social housing initiative: 14,500 are complete; 80,000 premises have been repaired; 31,000 families are benefiting already; in terms of NRAS, over 3,500 are now complete, and there are 50,000 in total. This is the record of the Gillard government. We are getting on with the job of actually rolling out housing—building houses. They talk about data. We are actually delivering bricks and mortar on the ground. In terms of jobs, 15,000 jobs for tradespeople, jobs for apprentices, jobs for labourers. You did not care. You voted against the stimulus package. You voted against those houses being built. That is the Liberal Party's record. Shame on you! (Time expired)
