My question is to the Treasurer. Housing is a critical need, but the industry and now the RBA are saying that record public non-energy infrastructure is putting pressure on inputs and wages and that homebuilding is becoming uneconomic. With productivity in the sector stagnant, something's got to give. What is the government doing to slow non-essential infrastructure spending and allow capacity to return to the sector so we can get on with building homes?
