In the first round of funding under Labor's Housing Australia Future Fund and National Housing Accord plans we are delivering almost 14,000 new social and affordable houses. In fact, in our first term, we are delivering and supporting more social and affordable housing than those opposite did in nine years.

Social and affordable housing is not only good for our economy; it is also the decent thing to do. It's the right thing to do. Unlike those opposite, we don't actually believe that homeownership and decent housing should not be enabled for more Australians. The approach of those opposite is that only some Australians should be entitled to homeownership. (Time expired)
