Ms COLLINS (Franklin—Minister for Housing, Minister for Homelessness and Minister for Small Business) (14:10): I thank the member opposite for that important question. Really, you come in here and you talk about migration when it was going to be higher under those opposite! The SPEAKER: I'm going to ask the minister to direct her comments through the chair. Ms COLLINS: They did very little about housing while they were in government, particularly when it comes to social and affordable housing, and they're now blocking the Housing Australia Future Fund Bill in the Senate—the bill that would provide 30,000 additional social and affordable rental homes on top of all the other things we're doing in our broad housing agenda. I would say to the member opposite: you come in here and say we're not doing enough when it comes to migration. The former Leader of the Opposition said we're doing too little, too late. The numbers were going to be higher under you, and now you're actually trying to block the housing we're trying to provide. Seriously! That is what you are doing; you are absolutely trying to stop what we are doing when it comes to more housing. Honourable members int erjecting— The SPEAKER: The minister will pause. The member for Spence will cease interjecting. I'll hear from the member for Wannon. Mr Tehan: This goes to relevance. It was about the link between immigration being high and your lack of housing supply. I'd like to minister to go back to that. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! I want to be able to hear the minister, to make sure she is being relevant to the question regarding immigration and the pressures on housing. I ask her to return to the question. Ms COLLINS: Thank you, Mr Speaker. With the Housing Australia Future Fund, we're talking about additional housing here in Australia. Mr Sukkar interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Deakin will cease interjecting or be warned. Ms COLLINS: We're talking about 30,000 social and affordable rental homes that we want to get on the ground as soon as possible and that you're saying no to. You voted no in this House and you're saying no to it in the Senate. Seriously, we've got 4,000 of those homes for women and children fleeing family violence and for older women at risk of homelessness. Some of that housing is for veterans who are at risk of homelessness, and you are saying 'no' when we want to put more houses on the ground. After a decade of little action, we are trying to turn this around. We've invested $575 million immediately, we had the National Housing Accord in our first budget and we have a bill in the Senate, and you're blocking it. We've had more measures in the budget, just two days ago, for build-to-rent—an additional $2 billion for Housing Australia to do more social and affordable housing. We continue to invest in housing. We've got homes on the ground today, which you don't support, and we want to do more with the Housing Australia Future Fund. Instead, we've got you, with the Greens, forming this 'no-alition' of no homes. You don't want any homes on the ground when it comes to social and affordable housing. Seriously! You need to actually get your senators in the Senate to support this bill, allow us to bring on the debate and have a vote. If you were serious about what's going on when it comes to housing and if you were serious about those Australians doing it tough, you would support the bill in the Senate.
