The Housing Australia Future Fund is for 30,000 new social and affordable homes and those opposite, of course, voted no to that. We've got targeted support with Help to Buy to get homebuyers into new homes, targeted with 40 per cent shared equity for new homes. Again those opposite said no. What we need to hear from them is exactly what they're going to do. They've got this plan to use super for homes, but what we know is that will push up home prices, and even the Leader of the Opposition and the shadow minister for finance say that. We know it won't build one new home and we know it will wreck people's retirement by wrecking their super.

What we need to do is get on and build more homes for Australia. We're going to do that. While we're building new homes, they're wrecking superannuation.
