I move my second reading amendment on sheet 2107:

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate calls on the Albanese Government to:

(a) recognise:

(i) that Australia is already the fourth quickest builder of housing in the entire OECD;

(ii) the decision to allow over 1 million arrivals from net immigration and student visas in 12 months is the primary driver of the housing crisis;

(iii) no amount of public expenditure on housing can fix the crisis facing Australians without significant change to the demand side of housing economics; and

(b) abandon its irresponsible immigration intake in order to address the housing crisis".
