My question is to the Prime Minister. Has the Prime Minister now familiarised himself with the Treasurer’s comments made on 30 July regarding the housing affordability crisis and about which I asked the Prime Minister on Tuesday:

Journalist: Do you concede that there is a housing crisis, affordability crisis in Australia at the moment?

Treasurer: House prices are higher than they have been and they are higher than they have been because more people are in work and more people are able to afford to borrow to purchase more expensive housing.

Journalist: So is there a crisis, Treasurer?

Treasurer: Well, no.

Does the Prime Minister agree with his Treasurer that there is no housing affordability crisis in Australia?
