I mean, honestly; the Liberal Party
is so useless! It is so embarrassing. We are ensuring that there is activity in
the property sector. We are ensuring that there is a reduction in transfer duty
for people who want to buy off the plan. If we can bring forward activity via
this technique, that is what will happen. Any benefit will be capped at $50 000.
If a very expensive property is purchased as a consequence of this, the benefit
will be capped at $50 000. Again, I do not think the opposition gets it. As I said
yesterday, I do not think the opposition understands the way it works. But,
then again, I think that is quite common with the Liberal opposition and the
opposition leader—they often do not understand complex things.
