QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WHITTEN (Western Australia) (14:52): The government has made a complete mess of housing. Young people have taken out loans they can't afford. This government's spending is driving up inflation and interest rates.

You are fuelling demand with mass immigration, and now you're killing housing supply with massive tax increases. We cannot support these measures, because they won't deliver affordable housing to Australians. When will Labor face the music and actually address this housing crisis by cutting mass immigration?
