Minister, I commend the government's investments in housing, and I note your reference to the Housing Australia Future Fund, but the fact remains that, due to the low rate of youth allowance, young people are being excluded from the new social housing being provided under the Housing Australia Future Fund. To the broader question about our system that is subsidising the one per cent of Australians who own 25 per cent of investment properties while not ensuring young people can have access to social housing, how can your government think that is an acceptable status quo?
