I move:

That the Senate take note of the answer given by the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Wong) to a question without notice I asked today relating to housing.

The government's housing policy is the definition of insanity—trying to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. We have families living in cars and young people with nowhere to go and no hope of getting a foot on the ladder. Yet this Labor government keeps doing what it has always done—spend big and drive mass immigration. The government even brags that they have brought immigration numbers down. It is down to the third-highest figure of all time. They hold first and second place, by the way.

Every policy this government has brought into this place to address this crisis has made matters worse. That's what we've had against them—driving demand, killing supply. Labor has no mandate from the Australian people for their latest round of changes in tonight's budget. It came to this election promising no changes to taxes. You have misled the Australian people, and you will deserve all the backlash that you get.

Question agreed to.
