There is a real need to have that debate. I am not suggesting for one second that we do not have an issue. However, we need an honest debate. We cannot say that there is nothing being done. We cannot say that the Government is not doing anything or expending money because it is.The facts are that people are exiting homelessness, more houses are being built and more people are entering home ownership. Let us have that honest debate. I am not saying this to Senator Kelleher. To be fair, we can all present reports.
