QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr REBELLO (McPherson) (14:51): My question is to the Minister for Housing. A secret internal RBA memo says that migration policy is a 'main way that the government influences the housing market'. This government has brought in a record 1.4 million migrants.

So isn't it the truth that Labor's migration policies have made it harder— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! Members on my right! Whatever's being said across the chamber will cease immediately.

I don't know what was being said, but we're not going to have interjections. Just as the member for Melbourne was shown the respect, the member for McPherson is going to be given the same courtesy. I couldn't hear the question.

If everyone can just control themselves while questions are being asked, on both sides, the House will benefit from that action. The member for McPherson will begin his question again. Mr REBELLO: My question is to the Minister for Housing.

A secret internal RBA memo says that migration policy is a 'main way that the government influences the housing market'. This government has brought in a record 1.4 million migrants. So isn't it the truth that Labor's migration policies have made it harder for Australians, including new Australians, to afford a home?
