():  I don't want to start my answer with a question, but I would put a similar question to One Nation, which is: would you support all of the housing investments that we've brought to this chamber to actually drive housing supply so that the people you represent, whether it's the Housing Australia Future Fund, social and affordable housing, rent assistance or any of that—every single measure that we have brought to this chamber to get support to drive an increase in housing supply, which is the single best thing we can do to increase access and affordable housing in this country, my memory is that One Nation has voted against it.

In relation to foreign investment, we have tightened the rules. There is compliance action underway. It forms a very small part of the residential housing market—0.8 per cent.

Senator Bell interjecting—

Senator Bell, we could do a lot more together if you voted for some of the measures that we've brought here.
