My notes say that I should thank senators for their contribution to the debate on the Help to Buy Bill 2023 and the Help to Buy (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2023. What we are seeing in the chamber this evening is a full expression of the lack of a sense of focus on the interests of real Australians from the Greens party, members of the crossbench and the Liberal and National parties. We just heard from Senator Rennick, Mr Dutton's preferred candidate for the Queensland Senate ticket. He sits on the crossbench now, but, in an expression of Mr Dutton's political extremism, Senator Rennick was his preferred candidate on the Queensland Liberal National Party ticket.
