Thanks to the member for Aston for her question but also for caring so deeply about people in her community looking for affordable properties, and particularly the renters in her part of the world.

We'd a really important development today, as the Senate cleared the way for the next stage of the consideration of the Housing Australia Future Fund, and we thank those in the Senate who were prepared to support the HAFF so that we could get this moving. This is the biggest single investment in social housing since the member for Sydney was the housing minister over a decade ago, and it is part of a broad and ambitious agenda that we have for housing. It's an important part of our housing plan, but it's not the only part of our housing plan.
