Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Hasn’t the Howard government had 11 long years to do something about the housing affordability crisis? Why is it that, after 11 years in office, the best this government can do is hold a brainstorming session in the party room to desperately try and discover a pre-election policy? Doesn’t this highlight the fact that this stale, out-of-touch government has no idea about how to make it easier for young families to buy a home in the future?
