My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Housing, Senator Farrell. Minister, new research released today has found that seven out of 10 renters and mortgage holders are now in housing stress, and one in three lack confidence that they can afford their housing costs over the next 12 months, yet here we are a couple of months out from the end of Labor's first term and you still haven't released the promised national housing and homelessness plan, and you won't support my bill to legislate one, despite 72 per cent of people supporting such a plan. Minister, you understand the importance of numbers. With this kind of support, why won't you legislate a plan?
