First, I want to welcome Graham and Julie Watson and Eddie and Barbara Curie from the Goldstein electorate, who are in the chamber today. Secondly, I want to congratulate the Treasurer on measures in his third budget. Home ownership provides the foundation for the economic security of individuals and families. It's also how we democratise the ownership and wealth distribution of the nation. This budget includes measures that put life decisions in their proper order—home first, super second. There is more to do, but it's a great start. The Liberal Party has always understood the importance of home ownership. Sadly, the same cannot be said of members on the other side, who want Australians to be serfs to their own super. The rumours are right, the opposition leader wants an indentured nation not empowered citizens.
