A wage rise. And we're also going to give every household energy bill relief. We know that we are going to help them as much as possible. But the best way to help the people of Australia is to build more houses. Build more houses!

To come in here and be a champion for housing but then to be a mouse back in your electorate, where you won't support public housing—

An honourable member interjecting—

It was for public housing! I saw it. And I hadn't heard this story about the Brotherhood of St Laurence—that well-known property developer! We know the Greens have a very simple policy: build more social housing, but not in our electorates. Not in our electorates! That's their policy—rank hypocrisy! You should be ashamed of yourselves! Why don't you actually come out and support some social housing around Australia and stop blocking social housing, which is what you've been doing?
