I thank the member for Macnamara for that question. I know that the member for Macnamara wants more social and affordable rental homes in his electorate. He has a large number of renters in his electorate and he has been working hard to deliver more homes for the people who need them most in his electorate.

We know that too many Australians are finding it difficult to find a safe, affordable place to call home. But over the last 12 months our government, the Albanese Labor government, has helped more than 50,000 Australians into homeownership. This includes more than 6,000 through our first home buyer guarantee that we brought forward. And, of course, we're making changes in July to expand the criteria for this.
