Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:08): Senator Henderson confirms yet again what we know of this opposition: always out there to divide; always out there to stoke the bear; always there to go for the politics, never the issues that matter. I'm confident that the people of Dunkley will recognise that this government has focused on meeting all of the pressures that households are dealing with today. Whether it be investments in Medicare, whether it be dealing with the energy transition, whether it be generating jobs, whether it be managing inflation, whether it's about the getting the budget back in shape, whether it's about rebuilding Medicare after you guys ruined it— Senator Henderson: I raise a point of order on relevance. I'm asking about the message: rents are going up. Could the minister please answer the question in relation to this messaging. The PRESIDENT: I believe the minister is being relevant to your question, Senator Henderson. Senator GALLAGHER: Thank you for the prompt, Senator Henderson. That is why we invested in historic amounts of Commonwealth rent assistance to provide relief. That's why we've invested $25 billion— Senator Cash interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, withdraw that comment. Senator Cash: I withdraw the comment. Senator GALLAGHER: That is why we've invested $25 billion in addressing some of the housing shortage that we have inherited from a decade of a government that couldn't care less about housing for Australia.
