I thank Senator Urquhart for her second supplementary question, and yes, I can answer that question. The Albanese government's $2 billion social housing accelerator is delivering more social housing for Tasmanians, helping to get Tasmanians who are at risk of homelessness into safe and secure housing. Minister Julie Collins, a wonderful minister from Tasmania, has just this afternoon announced a joint partnership with the St Vincent de Paul Society to deliver a $16.7 million development of 38 new homes in Hobart for women over 55 who are experiencing homelessness. We know that access to safe and secure housing is life changing for people who are experiencing homelessness. This project delivers on our commitment to supporting vulnerable women right across Australia, including in Senator Urquhart's home state of Tasmania. (Time expired)
