Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:07): I think I'll sort this out by taking it, as someone who has responsibility for housing and migration. If they want to do something about housing, they can support the Help to Buy scheme. If they want to do something about housing, they can support our Housing Australia Future Fund. If they want to do something about housing issues, they can support our housing accord to deliver an extra 1.2 million homes. And, if they want to talk about migration, the Leader of the Opposition had this to say, in 2022 after the election, during this term: We do need an increase in the migration numbers … it's clear that the number needs to be higher. He went on to say: … we need migration. The government announcement to increase the permanent migration intake has been delayed because of union pressure. He boasted and went on to say: … I brought in record numbers of people from India, China and many other countries. It wasn't just him; the deputy leader had a crack too: 'We know that business urgently needs a workforce and much of that workforce needs to come from overseas. We could have had a campaign to attract those workers who, by the way, have got other options. They don't come to Australia; no-one understands this better than regional MPs.' Then we had the shadow minister for immigration. Mr Tehan: When? Mr ALBANESE: Don't worry, you didn't miss either, sunshine! He said: … we need to get our international students back. We need to get our working holiday-maker visa holders back. He was out there calling for more and more. When we talk about asylum seekers, of course, the former deputy secretary of the immigration department, Abul Rizvi, had this to say about this bloke while he was in charge: In total, there were between 100,000 and 120,000 asylum applications lodged while Dutton was in charge. The is by far the largest number of asylum applications under any immigration minister in our history. Indeed it was. The record-holder for backing in big immigration is sitting right there.
