Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. This is extremely instructive. Does the minister propose to engage in a rational and fact based way with proposals to transfer the huge taxpayer funded incentives for property speculation into genuinely affordable housing supply, whether it be emergency accommodation for the homeless, a rebooted rental affordability scheme, a housing supply bonds issue or direct investment in the community and public housing sectors? Do you intend to bring any such policies to the public debate, or will you continue to leave it up to the Greens? (Time expired)
