That is obviously the big issue here on the Government side. The Minister has made the point that we need the supply, which we obviously do, but the Government is turning a blind eye to another major issue, which is that it has overseen runaway rents. Even with cost rental, where costs are 25% below the market rate, rents are still extremely high. I will leave my point at that.
