QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:53): The government's focus has been delivering real change to build more homes and to help more first home buyers. That has been our focus. Unlike those opposite, we think housing affordability needs to be addressed and we have thrown everything at it.

We have been doing this for four years. We are seeking to level the playing field for first home buyers, building more infrastructure, cutting red tape and approving more homes. The government's Housing Australia plan— The PRESIDENT: Senator Canavan?

Senator Canavan: On relevance, for Nathan and Dimitri, I was just asking about an analysis of the impact on them. The PRESIDENT: The minister is being relevant. I'll continue to listen carefully.

Minister Wong? Senator WONG: I am asked about housing, and you're correct that the focus of the government's approach to housing has been to build more homes and to help more first home buyers. That is our policy objective.

You may have other policy objectives, but we think that housing affordability is something that does need to be addressed, which is why we have worked on, as I said, a range of measures which are all about addressing housing affordability. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Canavan, second supplementary?
