What Senator Green has clearly noticed is that, in the coalition, we've got lots of individual members and senators contributing to the policy debate, which is a fantastic thing. But let me also say to the member for New England and everybody in this chamber that, right around Australia, people are taking out loans to buy land and house packages every single day. People are going to take out loans in order to organise substantial renovations, obviously, on an ongoing basis. This is an important program that is designed to support jobs in the residential construction sector. We will continue to monitor its implementation as we are rolling it out, and we are confident that this is going to make a positive and necessary contribution.
