Well, as the Prime Minister announced this morning, the Albanese Labor government will deliver more than 13,700 new social and affordable homes across Australia. The first round of our Housing Australia Future Fund and National Housing Accord programs will deliver more than 4,200 social and 9,522 affordable homes, including 1,300 for women and children escaping family violence and women at risk of homelessness. This round will unlock about $9.2 billion in investment in social and affordable housing across the Commonwealth, state and territory governments and the private and community housing sectors—the biggest investment in social and affordable housing in more than a decade. In our first term, we are providing and supporting more social and affordable housing than those opposite did in their entire decade in office. (Time expired)
