Thank you, Senator Pocock, for your second supplementary question. This government is doing absolutely everything it possibly can to seek to resolve this issue. I know it might be a joke to you, Senator Pocock, but it's $32 billion of spending—more spending in the last budget on housing and homelessness than in the entire period of the former government. That's how committed this government is to seeking to resolve that issue. I wish I could click my fingers and solve the problem overnight, Senator Pocock. I can't do that, but what we are doing is everything in our power to put legislation through this parliament—blocked by your colleagues on the left and the right of you. We will eventually get this legislation through. (Time expired)
