weird denial where they just put the minister, who's useless, Claire O'Neill, up in question time, and she just points at the people on the other side of the chamber voice-verified

say, well, the Housing Industry Association. voice-verified

So their figures out this week show that new home sales since the budget have gone into freefall, in fact, voice-verified

The tax rule changes in that budget that you and I keep going on about voice-verified

have driven investors out of the construction industry. voice-verified

They're retreating from the market and the pipeline of future homes is shrinking. voice-verified

The HIA said another 10% fall in new home sales in August, the fourth consecutive month. voice-verified

That leaves sales 7.7% below a year earlier. voice-verified

And then you go to the specific areas like where I am in Victoria, new housing construction has plunged 27%. voice-verified

In New South Wales, it's 18%. voice-verified

And so the minister gets up and says, oh, well, voice-verified

you know, new home sales and soaring construction insolvencies. voice-verified

It's not our fault. voice-verified

We've got nothing. voice-verified

We're a pro-supply government. voice-verified

We just delivered a pro-supply budget. voice-verified

What they're saying their changes will do and what's happening on the ground, and this often happens, two different things. voice-verified

Do you reckon if there was an election later on this year or next year, they would have backed out of this by now or not? voice-verified

Well, they'd have to come on. voice-verified

We'll get to Ben Carroll, the premier in Victoria in a minute. voice-verified
