Clare O'Neil (Hotham, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Housing) Share this | Hansard source

The Greens have teamed up with the Liberals to oppose homeownership. They've teamed up with the Liberals to oppose the building of more social and affordable homes. And it's not just on housing; the Greens have teamed up with the Liberals to oppose environmental protections and economic reform.

We're coming around the straight into the election, and I want Australians to remember they are going to have a real choice at this election when it comes to housing—between a party of pessimism, a party of protest and a party of progress: the Liberal Party, which has a horrible track record when it comes to housing and is motivated only by nasty negativity; and the Greens party, which is more interested in waving placards than getting real Australians in the housing they deserve. We're taking a different approach as a government. We've done the hard graft and we're going to build the homes that ordinary people are going to rely on.
