Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. The minister referred in his previous response to rents. Given that median rents have risen by over 29 per cent, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, during your government's term, how can the stakeholders, whether they are homeowners or renters or investors or home builders and those who are struggling to even put a roof over their heads, have any confidence that the new minister, the new parliamentary secretary, will make any further difference at solving the housing shortage in this country?
