Unfortunately, those opposite have blocked every initiative that we have brought forward to address the issues that Australians are experiencing with housing, but I'm particularly upset about what has happened with Help to Buy, because the coalition have said for a long time that they care about homeownership but just an hour ago in the Senate they came forward and voted against tens of thousands of cleaners, carers, nurses and teachers being able to own their own home. There is going to be a really clear choice at the next election on housing between a reckless, arrogant opposition of pessimism and a party of progress that is making a real difference to Australians' housing opportunities.
