Well, President, I don't accept the precursor to that question—the various assertions about the HAFF. As to the primary problem the HAFF has had, you made a set of assertions in your primary question, or your supplementary question, Senator. The primary problem that the HAFF has had is that you stopped it. That's the primary problem. It's hard to get going when you and the Greens team up to stop more houses being built. Every time you come in here and say, 'We're really worried about how many houses are being built. Why are there not more houses being built?' everyone on this side goes, 'There was a problem, which was that you lot said no.'
