I thank the deputy leader for her question, which goes to what has occurred over the last four months. There is one date in particular that sticks in my mind over the last four months and it is 21 May 2022. On 21 May 2022, 77 members of the Australian Labor Party were elected to the House of Representatives. Those 77 people were elected with a very clear mandate: to end the waste and the rorts that dominated those opposite, to end the corruption that occurred by establishing a national anticorruption commission, to make sure that we had fairness in the workplace by reforming industrial relations, to give the lowest-paid workers on $20.33 an hour a $1-an-hour increase, something that those opposite said would ruin the economy. We were elected with a mandate for increased investment in public housing, through our housing Australia future fund.
