Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:16): Ms Plibersek was right. The figures I have here are that some 260,00 first home buyers with five per cent deposits have been helped into the system. They are many thousands of Australians who would not have entered the property market if not for what the Labor government has done, which you opposed.

You actually are opposed to us trying to get more young people into the market. It is quite remarkable that those opposite don't want more young Australians to have the opportunities that all of you have had—or so many of you—to own your own home. If you sit in this place, you can see that the coalition really is averse to government trying to ensure that more young Australians own their own home.

I don't think Australians are where you're at.
