Senator Singh, welcome back. It is very nice to see you back from the United Nations. It is good to see you, Senator Singh, having returned from New York, back in the bosom of your own party—unlike Senator Bernardi, your bench mate at the United Nations General Assembly. Nevertheless, I am sure you had a very good time.

Senator Singh, you asked me about housing affordability. My advice, as I said to Senator Cameron in my answer to his question earlier on, is the one thing people who want to get into the housing market ought to make sure they never do is vote Labor, because the Labor Party has presided over policies which have, not only in the Sydney market but particularly in the Sydney market, driven up house prices.
