That is the very opposite of the truth, Senator Cameron. If you merely listened to the answer, rather than staring off into space, you might learn something.

The plan, which I'm asking you to listen to, Senator Cameron, involves a $1 billion National Housing Infrastructure Facility to build the critical infrastructure needed to bring forward the supply of housing; a new National Housing and Homelessness Agreement with the states and territories to provide funding certainty for homelessness services; and Commonwealth land releases, including the release of 127 hectares of Department of Defence land in Maribyrnong, to open up more land for development. The package will make housing more affordable for Australians through savings incentives. (Time expired)
