We don't have that figure to provide to you today. The answer is that there needs to be more. This scheme provides for 10,000 Australians, including people lucky enough to live in the ACT and to have access to moderately priced homes with support from the government. I don't think any sensible person could oppose that proposition. It must of course be supplemented by the broader measures the government is undertaking in terms of housing supply, and that is going to involve an enormous cooperative effort not just from the Commonwealth government but from the states and territories, private industry, the development community and the investment community. That is the serious work the government is engaged in.
