Yes, it is an ambitious target. But do you know what, Senator Bragg? We're going to keep working to meet it. How about you stop blocking it? How about you stop blocking it? Australia would have been a long way further down the path to building more homes if you hadn't teamed up with the Australian Greens to prevent passage of legislation that would have enabled more supply. I do find it remarkable, Senator Bragg, that you block one of the key measures to deliver more supply and then you come in here and say, 'You're not going to meet your target.' Really? Does anybody wonder why? Does anybody wonder why the Australian people so comprehensively rejected those kinds of tactics, Senator?

I invite you—you are someone for whom I have a great deal of regard. I think you're one of the much more intelligent people on that side. (Time expired)
