There's going to be all sorts of campaigns against it.

But I really do think this is the start of starting to treat housing more as something we truly want to be accessible and affordable rather than just this asset class, this investment vehicle.

That's going to take time, but I really...

give the treasurer credit for that.

On the gas export tax, I think this is not going away, and so we've just got to keep ramping up the pressure.

This is the fiscally responsible thing to do.

It's in the national interest.

The vast majority of Australians want it.

And at a time where these gas exporters are making absolute bank of Trump's war in Iran, now is absolutely the time to do it.

And so it was fascinating sort of looking through the budget and hearing that some of the talking points around it with them saying, you know, international stability is not a reason not to do these hard things here.

But that's kind of exactly what's being used as an excuse not to do something like a gas export tax.

We can be a reliable ally and export gas to Japan, South Korea, the same values of gas at the same price, but just get a fair return for that gas.

And the companies would have to pay us that 25%.

Are you serious?

No, no.

I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

Well, not my entire life, but there was a period of time where I was totally obsessed for many years.

My poor family.

I honestly put them through so much.
