I thank Senator Bilyk for the question. I also want to take the opportunity to acknowledge the work of Minister Collins in this area. She has been working tirelessly over the last 18 months, fellow Tasmanian, to deliver on this reform agenda. With every step of our agenda we're improving access to safe and affordable homes for Australians. To name just a few measures, they are the $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund, the $2 billion Social Housing Accelerator, the $2 billion in additional financing for community housing providers and the $1.7 billion one-year extension to the National Housing and Homelessness Agreement. We are seeing homes under construction thanks to the $575 million we have unlocked from the National Housing Infrastructure Facility, and we have recently committed a further $1 billion to this facility to deliver even more homes.
