I too support this matter of public importance put forward by Senator O'Sullivan. The past 15 months under the Albanese government has been reminiscent of the movie Apocalypse Now. We've got Prime Minister Albanese, a bit like Marlon Brando as Colonel Walter Kurtz at the end, painting his face with the Voice and being distracted while his other colonel, Colonel Kilgore—Jim Chalmers—is out there saying he loves the smell of poverty in the morning. He loves the smell of homelessness. That's what we've had under the Albanese government, 15 months of sheer horror.
