QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WALKER (South Australia) (14:28): My question is to the Minister for Youth, Senator Walsh. Young people want to feel optimistic about their future. They want a home they can afford and confidence that, if they work hard, they can get ahead.

Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Order! Senator Walker, I'm sorry; please resume your seat.

Order on my left! Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my right as well! Senator McKenzie interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie!

Senator Walker, if you would start again, please. Senator WALKER: My question is to the Minister for Youth, Senator Walsh. Young people want to feel optimistic about their future.

They want a home they can afford and confidence that, if they work hard, they can get ahead. This week, I'm hearing from young Australians who are feeling hope again. Can the minister update the Senate on how the Albanese Labor government is listening to young people, taking their concerns seriously and building a fairer future for them?

Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Order across the chamber! On my right!

Minister Walsh.
