Deputy, you have been interrupting non-stop every time I get up to speak.

I have not interrupted you.

The bottom line is this in terms of the revenue that we have raised, the country is in significant debt. We borrow, and borrowed during Covid. The Deputy can go to any enterprise or business out there. I meet his businesses all the time and I meet businesses that provide services to all of us. What do they say about Government?

I acknowledge the important role that section 39 workers and organisations play in our health and disability services. They have a key role to play in providing services to people, both…

The Housing for All plan that the Minister published last year represents the most substantial policy response and funding response to the housing crisis that we have seen in the past decade. No political party in the Opposition has produced anything near the substance of the Housing for All plan.
