Once again, I thank Senator Ciccone for his first supplementary question. Senator, you are right; one of the biggest challenges for a lot of Australians looking to buy a home is being able to put down a house deposit, particularly when they are already struggling to pay the rent. Through the Help to Buy scheme, the Albanese Labor government would help Australians slash the size of their deposit and their mortgage. We're ready to help Australians who otherwise wouldn't be able to purchase a home at all. The Liberals, the Nationals and the Greens have a chance to support Aussie homeownership, and, on behalf of every aspirational Australian, I hope, one day, they finally do.
