But I'm concerned for people like Emma, Tanya and Glenda and Nanna Pam, who I talked about yesterday. I'm concerned because we've got the member for Hume, the shadow Treasurer, out there saying, 'Billions of unnecessary spending will be cut.' That includes things like the indexation to pensions and other payments. What I'm concerned about is: does it include the Housing Australia Future Fund, the fund that you voted against? The response to this fund has been huge, and we will be making announcements and we'll be getting houses underway later this year. It'll be on them. They're full of negativity. We're going to get on and build the homes that Australia needs.
