I know that those opposite do not care about affordable housing. Under the old coalition government, there was no housing minister and there was no policy for affordable housing, except to blame the states day in and day out. What did then Prime Minister John Howard do? He blamed the states. We know that coalition senators have no commitment whatsoever to affordable housing and no commitment to any plan on housing. They had no plan on housing, except to blame the states for 12 years. That was your policy. (Time expired)
