The Liberal Member for Forrest has a question (I refuse to learn his name this early in the piece) keeps up the stupid questions from the Coalition, this time with one to Clare O’Neil:

Will the government failed to deliver its commitment to build 1.8 2 million new homes, new taxes on the family home were raised and the government ‘s 3-day talkfest. Will the Minister rule out flooding Australians with new taxes on their spare bedrooms?

O’Neil:

I do not know what bizarre fantasy land those opposite have been living in, what on earth are they talking about? I heard these questions are getting asked over and the other place today and I thought the Housing Minister, the shadow Housing Minister has not had a sweet for breakfast this morning, I do not know what he is going on about the fact that we have got people in the House of Representatives of the ridiculous questions like this, get a clue.

Let me talk about our governments tax policies because they are absolutely clear.

The member for Forrest, who looks like ChatGPT was asked to create a 3D Liberal MP tries to interject, but Milton Dick is NOT having it and tells him to show some respect.

O’Neil:


Our tax policies are absolutely clear, twisty stand for lower taxes, lower taxes that we have delivered to the Australian people and lower taxes that were opposed by those opposite, speaker. Not only did they go to an election thing they did not want lower taxes for every Australian taxpayer, but they said they would come into the Parliament to legislate for higher taxes for every Australian taxpayer. Let me come to the matter of housing taxation.

3D Lib tries again and Dick tells him to sit down.

O’Neil:

Let me come to the question of housing taxation. What a day to ask a question about housing taxation when our party has lowered taxes on it newbuild to rent locations and you are in the Senate today trying to raise taxes on new housing our country. I wish I could say that I was surprised by the unbelievable incompetence. I don’t believe – I do not know what the opposition is doing on housing this this term or any other. The very last people that Australians should listen to when it comes to housing policy are those who sit opposite. Remember for almost a decade they sat on these treasury benches and did nothing about a housing crisis building before their very eyes. They then spent three years being housing hypocrites, complaining about things going wrong in housing and coming into the Parliament and voting against measures that would fix the problem. Now they’re asking nonsensical questions about policies that don’t even exist. Get a clue, people.
