I thank Senator Green for her first supplementary question. The Help to Buy scheme will give Australians a leg-up into the homeownership dream. Importantly it will help add to supply. It's not just us saying that. Master Builders have said, 'It will succeed in translating the strong demand for homes that is out there at the moment into newly built homes on the ground.' Even the Queensland LNP leader, David Crisafulli, said, 'Programs that allow equity like this are firmly in our focus.'

A government senator: Did he really?

Yes, apparently he said that. This support from industry and the Queensland LNP is fantastic, and we look forward to similar support from Mr Crisafulli's federal colleagues, who are sitting right over there.
