We know that the Greens' political strategy is always to try to criticise what Labor does and say that we should do more. It doesn't really matter what we do; you'll always complain and say we should do more. It doesn't matter if it's housing that you want to stop happening or if it's reducing childcare fees that you don't want to have happening. Everything is never enough, and everything is never good enough to actually vote for, because we know that right now you're working with the coalition to stop investment in housing, as you are across many other ways.

I'm proud of the fact that everyone on this side of the chamber is a member of a government that has delivered the real relief to university graduates that they deserve. I'm really proud of the fact that we're making pracs much more affordable for students to undertake, whether they're doing nursing, midwifery, teaching or social work. I'm really proud of the fact that we've changed the indexation of HECS debts for, I think, the first time ever, to make sure that that won't happen again.

Oh, yes, we know Senator Henderson is upset about that too.
