Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Isn’t the new interest rates reality crushing the aspirations of Australians who are desperately trying to buy a house? Where does the minister expect a low- or middle-income family to find the extra $285 a month they now need to pay off their home? How can the government have breached the trust of Australian families so badly?
