Our policies are unashamedly about trying to get more Australians into housing and able to own their own home. I know that those opposite don't believe that the Australian dream of owning your own home should be something that is more accessible to more Australians, particularly young Australians, but we do. We do think it's important, with the many changes that the government has put in place, both on the supply side and on the tax side, to ensure that we help more young Australians get into their first home.
Senator Bragg, I know that that is not something you think should be a policy priority, but we do. We want more Australians to have access to the Australian dream that I assume people in this chamber have had access to, which is the capacity to own your own home and build a life. (Time expired)
