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) (14:47): We're not going to do that, Senator Roberts. The numbers show we need good strong rules around it, and there are strong rules around it. We need compliance with those rules, and there are good compliance processes. It's less than one per cent, and this country has benefited from foreign investment. We benefit in terms of our economy and in terms of jobs— Senator Whish-Wilson interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Whish-Wilson, order! Please continue, Minister. Senator GALLAGHER: So it isn't something we are seeking to ban. It would help if some of our housing programs, which are currently stalled in the Senate, were given approval by the Senate because then we could build more supply, which is the actual issue. I know there are a lot of distractions about who's to blame, and it's easy to blame foreign ownership. The statistics don't support that. I say to the Senate that there are a couple of bills that are stuck in this chamber that would help people into homeownership and help increase the supply of housing in this country, and I say: let's get on with that job.
