Senator Bell, I've twice now pointed out that your party has consistently voted against everything we've ever done to invest in housing, and yet you continue to draw a link between the lack of housing and migration. We do need more homes in this country. We need them for people who have lived in Australia all their lives, and we need them for new migrants to Australia. You'd have a lot more credibility on this issue if your party hadn't opposed everything we'd ever done to invest in housing.
