I thank the member for McEwen for this important question. He knows that too many Australians at the moment are making difficult decisions around the kitchen table. They're dealing with increasing interest rates. They're dealing with rising rents. And they're making some tough decisions, which is why it is astounding that those opposite continue to oppose our Housing Australia Future Fund. They oppose the Housing Australia Future Fund, a reform that will deliver thousands of new social and affordable homes right across Australia for people that need them most. Fortunately they sat alone when this House passed our bill, with broad support from MPs across this House, including of course the member for Bass, who supported this important legislation.
