HomeBuilder Program

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:23): My question is again to the Treasurer. Has the Treasurer spoken to the Queensland Treasurer about HomeBuilder? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr COWDREY: The Queensland Labor Treasurer, Cameron Dick, wrote to federal Labor housing minister Julie Collins in the last two weeks asking her to, I quote, 'urgently consult with states and territories,' and that 'a 12-month extension at the April 30, 2024 deadline for HomeBuilder was required.'

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer) (14:24): No, I haven't, and as far as I'm advised, I also haven't received any communication from the federal housing minister either.
