My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. I refer to the report by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute, which reveals that 1.3 million Australian households are unable to access private market housing or are in rental stress, and this figure is predicted to rise to 1.7 million in 2025. Can the minister explain to the millions of Australians in need of housing support how the Minister for Finance can claim, 'By any measure, inequality has not worsened in recent years'?
