Senator Walker rightly focused on housing as one of the issues in her first speech. We took to the election an ambitious plan to build more houses and to make it easier for Australians to buy a home of their own. Unlike those opposite, who neglected housing for a decade, this government is making it easier for Australians to achieve the security of homeownership.

Unfortunately, the Liberals and the Nationals still don't take housing seriously. The reality is no-one can actually keep up with their policies. On Monday, Senator Bragg declared, 'We can pretty much close the book on the coalition's disastrous super-for-housing policy,' but he forgot to share his plans with his mate Mr Wilson, who was continuing his campaign to let young people raid their retirement incomes. It's all pretty embarrassing—and it would never happen under a Wilson government, would it, Senator Bragg!
