Thank you, Senator Kirk, for the very important question. Unlike the Liberal opposition, at the last election the Labor Party, now in government, took housing affordability very, very seriously. We take the dream of homeownership very seriously. It was only the Rudd Labor government that committed to a real, deliverable scheme to help struggling, hardworking young people and young families realise that goal. I know the Liberal opposition do not want to hear this, but it is only the Rudd Labor government that took this challenge seriously when we promised to introduce first home saver accounts, a superannuation like first home savings mechanism and tax advantage for young Australians. The difference between the Labor government and the Liberal opposition is we deliver on our election commitments. You break yours.
