Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:09): I thank Senator Stewart for her first supplementary question. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I'm sorry, Minister Farrell; please resume your seat. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Please continue. Senator FARRELL: I think you've hit the nail on the head here, and the reaction by those opposite, I think, shows that. The senator knows as well as anyone else that there is no silver bullet, unfortunately, to the housing crisis. This problem has been 30 years in the making— Senator Cash interjecting— Senator FARRELL: It was made worse, Senator Cash, by the Liberals and the Nationals, who spent their time on the front benches twiddling their thumbs on an issue they determine to be a little tricky. They had no housing minister, they had no ambition and—worst of all—they had no plan for homeownership. The result is that Australia has been left with a housing shortage. That's why the Albanese Labor government has a housing plan, investing $32 billion to build 1.2 million new homes. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Stewart, second supplementary?
