Thank you, Mr Speaker. Do you know who's been buying those houses? People who are renting. And we have given them that opportunity through the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme and the Family Home Guarantee, a scheme that is helping single mums buy their first home. That is what our policies are doing. They're giving Australians who have the aspiration to buy a home the opportunity to achieve that—and 320,000 Australians have been helped into home ownership since we were elected three years ago. That's what I call a promise delivered—commitment given, promise delivered. And this government will continue to do that.

With the sound economic management that is being delivered by this government, which has seen Australia through one of the greatest economic challenges since the Great Depression and which has seen Australia coming through this pandemic and the economic recovery underway, Australians can have confidence in the future. They can plan for their future with confidence. They can plan to buy their first home. They can plan to get skilled and get a job. They can plan to open and run a small business. They can plan to invest in new equipment that sees them get an advantage and be able to sell their products at a better price and be able to grow their business. They can do that in regional Australia in manufacturing and recycling and in the services industry. They'll be able to do it as we're getting the students back in December. That is a plan that is securing our economic recovery. Those opposite have no such plans, and no such experience and no such credibility. You can't trust Labor with your money. (Time expired)
