I thank Senator Hanson for the question. I would make the point that one of the reasons the government wants to bring forward the Housing Australia Future Fund is to ensure that we can contribute to greater supply. It is, I think, very deeply concerning that in the face of some of what is occurring in the housing sector that we have the no-alition—those opposite, who I know are struggling with the reality of opposition and are very angry, as is evinced by the sorts of interjections we get—simply saying no and the Greens saying it's not enough and, as a consequence, there are people in this country who would be benefited by increasing housing supply, which may be left wanting. Of course, always more can be done, Senator Hanson, and I think we all understand that. And, as I said, these are some of the issues the government will grapple with. (Time expired)
