Thank you for your second question. The long-term answer to rental stress is a sustained boost to the supply of homes to rent and a substantial investment in new social and affordable houses. That is exactly what the Albanese government is doing. The national Housing and Homelessness Ministerial Council has been tasked with developing a proposal to National Cabinet on options to strengthen renters' rights. The Albanese government is delivering the first substantial increase in Commonwealth Rent Assistance in over 30 years. We're also improving taxation arrangements for investment in build-to-rent homes, and, if the Greens would just get out of the way, the Housing Australia Future Fund will be the largest boost to social and affordable rental homes in a decade.
