Now we circle back. This is yet more of the secret billions and hundreds of millions under AUKUS. I understand. Minister, there are now 169,000 households waiting to be allocated public housing, with most people waiting somewhere between five and 20 years across this country. What do you say, and what does your government say, to Australians sleeping rough, Australians who can't afford a new home and Australians fleeing unsafe housing? Please explain to them how secretly funding hundreds of homes for the US military is more important than giving them a home.
