The first Tuesday of most months is like judgement day for many Australian families out there who are just waiting for the decision of the RBA, and it's unfortunate that we're seeing another rate rise. What Australian families out there are feeling—it's not just through spreadsheets; it's when they see their direct debit mortgage payments come out. As we're hearing from everyone across the chamber, housing is a massive issue. Clearly, more needs to be done. The supply issue needs to be addressed. I've been hearing from my own constituents that the government needs to do something about negative gearing—anything. The capital gains tax discount needs to be addressed as well. Now, these are very simple solutions alongside the supply issue that we're all talking about. I think they're easy fixes. We can't let this continue to pinch Australian families.
