The Senate will be interested to know that the government has directly supported more than 10,000 homes that have been built since we came to government through the Social Housing Accelerator program and new builds under the Home Guarantee Scheme and through the Housing Australia bond aggregator. And there are more homes to come. More than 20,000 homes are in the pipeline through direct Commonwealth investment, including 13,700 properties under round 1 of the Housing Australia Future Fund. That's something again that you opposed and delayed and blocked in this chamber, and now it is ready to build 13,700 social and affordable homes.

Opposition senators interjecting—

You may not need them, but plenty of people will benefit from these investments in housing.
