Senator McGRATH (Queensland—Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister) (12:28): I seek leave to make a short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator McGRATH: The previous Labor-Greens alliance left not a single dollar in the budget for the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness. The coalition allocated funding when it came to government, and in this budget we announced that funding for the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness would be increased, indexed and rolled into a new $1.5 billion housing agreement. This provides homelessness providers with ongoing funding security for the first time. Question agreed to.
