If you came down to my electorate in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, you'd find families who are worried about the cost of their homes. Those families are relying on their federal government to help them keep a roof over their head. That is exactly what this Labor government is doing. Labor has committed six times more funding for housing in three years than the previous government did in a decade. Labor is building five times more social, affordable housing than the Liberals bothered to. We are making housing accessible again. Labor has put over 1,000 families in the north into homes via the Home Guarantee Scheme. It's supported over 140,000 new homeowners nationwide through that program alone, more than twice the number supported when the Liberals were in charge.

However, there is a man in this place who would take all of this away. If that man had his way, 40,000 fewer Australians would own their own home. If that man had his way, there would be 30,000 fewer social and affordable homes in this country. If that man had his way, there would be 80,000 less build-to-rent apartments in Australia. If that man had his way, he would take $19 billion from housing. What is that man's name? Well, it rhymes with 'cuttin''.
