I thank Senators for their comments. Most were positive but some were negative. I will not thank Senators for the negative ones but we have to accept them and take them on the chin. Joking aside, everyone is committed to the process of delivering more housing. We also have to take criticism as well because we cannot get this done as quickly as we want.

I am not fully sure what Senator Murnane O'Connor was trying to get at. I am not familiar with councils dezoning lands they bought for social housing.
