Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:26): I thank Senator Bilyk for her ongoing interest in the issue of housing and homelessness, particularly in her home state of Tasmania. I can answer her question because the Albanese government wants every Australian to have the security of a roof over their head. Fundamental to our plan is increasing the supply of new housing, which is exactly what the $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund will do. The fund would deliver 30,000 social and affordable rental homes in its first five years, including a minimum of 1,200 in your home state of Tasmania, Senator Bilyk. Senator Duniam: Huh? Senator FARRELL: Yes, Senator Duniam. It will deliver housing for people escaping family violence, for veterans and for First Nations Australians. Sadly this week the Liberals and the Nationals and the newest member of their coalition, the Greens political party, teamed up to reject the Housing Australia Future Fund Bill. The actions of the Greens stopped the Housing Australia Future Fund from starting to enter into commitments for new homes from 1 July this year. They did this because the Greens love to campaign about more housing, but, when it comes to it, the Greens do everything they can to block more affordable housing for vulnerable Australian. Just two days after the Greens rejected the fund in the Senate, Yarra city Greens councillors voted against social housing in their area. While explaining their opposition to the new social housing on council owned land, one Greens councillor said the land was better used for 'other things than social housing'. Another Greens councillor complained that social housing wasn't inclusive. Sadly, the Greens talk the talk on affordable housing, but, when it comes to actually supporting specific projects, they vote it down. We will not be deterred by the Greens political games. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Bilyk, first supplementary?
