Your policies are making things worse. The five per cent home deposit scheme has pushed prices up and made it much tougher for those out there looking for a home. Renters and first home buyers are being pushed into housing stress as interest rates keep going up. While they struggle to keep their one home, they watch the wealthy one per cent buy their fourth, their fifth or their 20th. Minister, how do you think Australians feel when they see people like the Reserve Bank governor buy a fourth house worth more than $2 million on the same day as the last rate increase, as they struggle to fund their own housing?
