Again, that question reflects most poorly on you, Senator Bragg. The Minister for Housing is an extraordinarily capable minister. She has hit the ground running in that portfolio, and I imagine that concerns Senator Bragg. She is out there examining how we can ensure that all of our policies are implemented: the $32 billion that we are putting in place and all of the measures that you have blocked in this place and have sought to delay and frustrate. Then you have the nerve to come in here and complain about housing.

You didn't care about housing when you were in government—10 years of ignoring housing. We've come in and, in two years, done more to shift the dial in terms of Commonwealth involvement in housing than any government before us has. We will continue to do that, and no doubt you will continue to block. (Time expired)
