I thank my Senate colleagues from the Labor Party and the cross benches for their support for this motion. This motion effectively will deal with the cumulative impacts of this government's extraordinarily cruel budget on homeless people and people at risk of homelessness. There is no question at all that many more people will be made homeless as a cumulative result of this government's extraordinary attack on the Australian community. This government needs to provide us with the models that they have done, the estimates that they have for the numbers of homeless people, the increased numbers of homeless people as a result of this budget—and if you do not know how many more people will be made homeless you should. We will be back here on 16 June to find out whether the government actually cares or knows how many more people will be made homeless, because this budget is a disgrace.

Question agreed to.
