QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator AYRES (New South Wales—Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science) (14:24): You can look forward to plenty more. I would just say that what renters can look forward to from the Greens political party is words, slogans and posts on social media—sometimes associating themselves with the achievements of this government—saying, 'We did it.' But it's mostly hyperbolic, partisan criticism that has no foundation in reality.

What they can look forward to from this government is effort, reform—tax reform too—practical assistance and more homes. Senator Colbeck: But not more housing. Senator AYRES: I hear the interjection.

I agree with you, Senator Colbeck—more homes. They can look forward to more homes, more supply and more action from a government that is committed to building more homes, building them more cheaply and providing more young Australians, in particular, access to the housing market. The PRESIDENT: Senator Pocock, second supplementary?
