Why waste taxpayer money then? It doesn't work around the country, yet the member for Bennelong wants people to have the government sitting inside their homes at their family table.

The coalition wants a smaller government. The politicians on this side of the House do not want to tell people what cars they have to buy. They don't want to force people to go into partnership with the government to buy their home. We want people to be aspirational and to have that vision and to have that security. That's why we will oppose this bill.
