Mr HUSIC (Chifley—Minister for Industry and Science) (15:02): Thanks to the member for Aston for her question and her ongoing interest in this area. Ours is a government that's focusing on what matters to all Australians: getting a secure, well-paid job; being able to earn more and keep more of what you earn; and being able to secure your own affordable, good-quality home. Our government backs those aspirations through a future made in Australia—growing our industrial muscle, putting Australian knowhow to work, creating new jobs and making more things here. A great example of that is in the area of prefabricated, more modular homes, which rely on advanced manufacturing techniques to help construct a home offsite, cutting construction time from a year down to just 12 weeks, delivering high-quality homes, cutting costs and creating jobs—and it can help play a part in reaching our target of building 1.2 million new homes over five years. To make it easier to do this, at Friday's Building Ministers Meeting all levels of government agreed to see how we could cut red tape to help build more of these homes quicker and more affordably. As an aside, the Albanese government's tax cuts will mean a joiner in the construction industry on $85,000 a year is going to be $1,800 better off. Whether they're putting together prefab homes in a factory or installing them onsite, Labor's tax cuts are delivering for blue-collar workers. I'm asked about whether or not there are different views. There are a lot on that side—always negative, always nasty, all the time. But they're celebrating an anniversary today; it was 10 years ago today when the coalition brought in the idea of knights and dames. As absurd as Monty Python's knights who say 'ni', it's the knights and dames who say 'no'! Mr Perrett interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Moreton will leave chamber under 94(a). The member for Moreton then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: The member for Wannon, on a point of order? Mr Tehan: It's relevance. Australians can't find homes. There's a rental crisis— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: No. The member for Wannon, due to his seniority, gets a bit more licence than others, but he is what we call a serial offender of getting up and giving speeches. The point of relevance is to show that the minister isn't being relevant to the question. It's not to then make a statement after. So you'll leave the chamber under 94(a). The member for Wannon then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: The minister was asked about homes. I'm just going to make sure that he gets back to the topic. Character assessments are not part of the answer. I'm just going to ask him to return to the question that he was asked. Mr HUSIC: When we talked about building manufacturing capabilities in this country, those opposite said no. When we talked about shielding manufacturers from the worst of energy price rises, they said no. And today—my personal favourite—the member for New England, the stalking horse you love the most, was out there saying that manufacturing jobs had gone down, unburdened by the weight of facts. That back never had to carry facts. He ignored the fact that nearly 90,000 manufacturing jobs have been created since we came to office. He joined our good friend the Deputy Leader of the Opposition in only ever talking about manufacturing to talk it down. He described manufacturing as a graveyard, talking down manufacturing jobs. They're a complete rabble, not ready for government. As always, they stand for nothing; they oppose everything. (Time expired)
