This is a government that actually has housing as a critical part of its ministerial line-up; you in government did not. Under the previous government, $3.1 billion was taken out of the housing budget and the previous government actually voted against building some 20,000 new homes the last time they had a chance to actually support affordable housing. So rather than talk about it, when you had the chance to do something about it, you failed miserably. And you want to compare our record with that! I think our case rests.
