Mr Barr: You closed the program.

MR PARTON: Mate, seriously!

MADAM SPEAKER: Members, please! Can we concentrate on the debate. Mr Parton.

MR PARTON: Agreed, Madam Speaker, can we concentrate on this debate please. Because this is what we are debating.

Mr Barr: You are the one who brought NRAS into it.

MR PARTON: I am giving NRAS as an example for this scheme.

Members interjecting—

MADAM SPEAKER: Members!

MR PARTON: That is all. I will sit down.

MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (6.05): The Greens will support the amendments, with concern, I guess.

Mr Parton: With a heavy heart.

MS LE COUTEUR: With a heavy heart. As I have made quite clear, I would be incredibly pleased if we got to 100 rentals in the two years. I am very pleased to hear the comments that Mr Barr has just made about wanting it to be successful and looking to expand it and I sincerely hope that he does that. I think probably the most useful way would be to look at expanding the time period. I think that that would be the thing that would enable this scheme to reach more of its potential and reach a potential whereby it might be something that a budget of $5 billion would not even notice.

Question put:

That the amendments be agreed to.

The Assembly voted—

Amendments agreed to.
