(—) (): Well, the answer is no. But, again, what I would say, Senator, is that you and your party have consistently opposed every aspect of our housing agenda from woe to go. You are consistent with that. It would be better if you could front up to the Australian people and say, 'Actually, you know what? We don't think that government has a role in ensuring more housing supply,' because that would be a more honest thing to do than coming in here and asking questions, pretending to care. You don't care because you don't actually believe that government should be doing this. We have a different view. We want to build more houses for more Australians because we understand what housing means to Australians. We want to provide more social and affordable housing. We want to add to the private housing supply. And we want to ensure that homeownership is within reach of more Australians. That is the difference between the Labor Party and the divided three parties on the right. (Time expired)
