To be honest with you, Senator Tyrrell, I think you're just focusing on one small aspect of what the government is proposing to do. Let me tell you about some of the things this government is doing by comparison to what the previous government did not do: a $10 billion investment to improve housing outcomes in Australia; 20,000 social homes, including 4,000 homes for women and children impacted by domestic violence, and older women at risk of homelessness; 10,000 affordable homes for frontline workers; $30 million for housing and services for veterans; $200 million to repair, maintain and improve housing in remote Indigenous communities.
