QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:01): The proposals, consistent with other measures that were put forward, are grandfathered, of course. But we're not prepared to sit back and accept that Australians are locked out of what is a broken housing system in this country. To say that we're going to do nothing about it—we, of course, have a majority in the House of Representatives, but in the Senate we don't have a majority.

Therefore, we have to engage constructively. Those opposite, in the three right-wing parties, all choose irrelevance. They all choose irrelevance and not to debate.

Although, it must be said that the member for Canning has said, in his party room, that he wouldn't bend the knee to One Nation. It's a real contrast with the bloke, the current leader of the opposition, who, when asked a question about monoculturalism four times, couldn't give an answer. He could not give an answer.

Mr Laxale interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Bennelong will leave the chamber under 94(a) for continual interjecting. within 30 seconds of the House— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Bennelong then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: The manager on a point of order?

Mr Tehan: To relevance, the question was about whether Australians with a self-managed super fund will face higher tax bills. Ms Catherine King: He answered it. Mr Tehan: No.

You haven't answered it. The people would like a straight answer. The SPEAKER: Order!

I'd appreciate if the manager, if he's on his feet to raise a point, doesn't give extraneous material when he raises his point of order. We don't need the extra commentary. You'll get the call.

The Prime Minister was asked a direct question. He has directly answered that question about the issue that was raised and that he was asked about. Within the first 30 seconds, he answered the question.

Mr ALBANESE: Those opposite raise a point of order about relevance when they make themselves irrelevant. Before they even see legislation, before they see proposals, they're against them. And now they've said they'll repeal the legislation—sound familiar?

It's exactly what he said they would do if they were elected in May 2025, when they promised to repeal tax cuts. What this legislation provides for is less tax and a working-class tax cut for every single Australian worker. Every single Australian worker will get a tax cut.

But they'll repeal it—that's what they've said. They'll repeal the legislation on day one says Senator Cash. We will continue to advance the interests of Australians, whether it's giving every worker a tax cut or whether it's giving every Australian the opportunity to aspire to own their own home—not just some Australians but every Australian.
