Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:00): I wish I could ask Liberal senators questions because I would ask Senator Bragg why he, as a moderate, appears to have gone down the path that Scott Morrison was suggesting. It seems to be a very, very atypical— Senator Bragg interjecting— Senator WONG: I would take objection if I were you. I'd be very embarrassed. Where are the moderates? Senator Bragg: I have a point of order on relevance. This so far has nothing to do with the content of housing. The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong had just started her answer, but I will draw her back to the question. Senator WONG: I can understand why you're embarrassed, Senator. I understand why you're embarrassed. I also understand why he's embarrassed too, as someone who has relationships with his community. I will now turn to the numbers that are— Senator Henderson: I have a point of order. I ask you, President, to ask Senator Wong to direct her comments through the chair. Senator WONG: I'm sure that the senator knows that Senator Bragg and Senator Scarr are probably tough enough to handle me looking at them. But what I would say is this: there is a number that is very important, and that number is 373, which is the total number of social and affordable homes that the party you are a part of built in a decade. We are delivering— Senator Bragg: I have a point of order on relevance. The question was about how many houses have been completed. The PRESIDENT: I think the minister was going to respond to your question. Senator WONG: We are getting on with the job of delivering 55,000 social and affordable homes. Senator Cash: How many? Senator WONG: Five thousand social and affordable homes have been completed through Commonwealth programs. A further 25,000 are in construction and planning, including over 18,000 through the HAFF, and 21,000 more social and affordable homes will be commissioned this year through the Housing Australia Future Fund. The problem for Senator Bragg is that his is a party that has always believed that government doesn't have a role in housing, so, when he comes in here to have a go at governments doing something about it, people know he comes from a political perspective, which is apparently increasingly right wing. He is from one of the three right-wing parties. He comes from a perspective that says, 'Actually, government shouldn't have to do anything like this.' This is why he has voted consistently against what this government has brought to this chamber to try and ensure we increase supply. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Bragg, first supplementary?
