Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:34): Senator Roberts, for starters, I would take issue with your description of migrants as people who are dumped on the community. I think that is an offensive way to describe the contribution of millions of Australians who come from a migrant background. Senator Roberts interjecting— Senator WATT: It's not funny, Senator Roberts. It's not funny to talk about dumping people or people being dumped. The PRESIDENT: I'll come to you, Senator Roberts. Minister, when answering the question, please direct your answers to the chair. Senator Roberts: On a point of order: I'm not laughing at immigrants; I am laughing at the minister. The PRESIDENT: Senator Roberts, that's not a point of order. Senator WATT: I think that is especially the case now that I think the figures are approximately one in two Australians are either born overseas or their parents are born overseas. We know migrants make a great contribution to our country. The reality is, though, that as a result of the increase in migration after the pandemic and as a result of the rorts in the international student system that were left behind by the coalition, action did need to be taken, and that is what we're doing. But what we're also doing is investing in the houses that Senator Roberts and his colleagues in the Liberal-National Party and, most of all, the Greens party want to keep blocking. If you want more housing, there is a really simple thing you can do: vote with Labor for more housing, instead of always opposing it.
