I thank Senator Smith for her first supplementary question. Yes, I can, Senator Smith. The Albanese government hit the ground running and is already delivering on its housing commitments. The Minister for Housing, who's doing a terrific job, has announced and visited many of the new developments and homes our reforms are delivering. There are projects delivering new affordable rental homes in places which include Westmead, Adelaide, north-west Tasmania, Balaklava and Brisbane, to name just a few—and they're just the start.

In addition to these early measures, the Housing Australia Future Fund will deliver 30,000 new social and affordable rental homes in the fund's first five years and set up a guaranteed ongoing pipeline of funding for social and affordable rental homes into the future.
