My recollection of the reference to the Prime Minister's comments is that they were in relation to the release of our housing policy during the election, where we released a number of policy areas to generate and deal with the housing challenge that we have inherited from the former government, which was there for a decade but disengaged from any role in housing policy. That is what we are fixing. Not only do you see us having to deal with the energy failures that we inherited, but there is a whole litany of areas we have to deal with. May I remind the party of robodebt, may I remind the party of aged-care failures, may I remind the party of housing failures. We inherited a situation where the Commonwealth had completely disengaged, and we went to the election with a comprehensive housing policy, which we would deliver if the Senate would get out of the way and stop blocking one of those signature policies.
