The member for Oxley just said that this would push up prices. Real estate agents did not address that with me at all. Real estate agents said that it would address the deposit issue for first home buyers. When I consulted with real estate agents, it was nothing to do with pushing up prices for real estate; it was to do with getting together a deposit for the first home buyers that they see, because the deposit is the biggest barrier for young people, and these bills helps them keep their own money.
