Federal Budget

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:42): My question is the Minister for Human Services. Will the minister condemn the federal Liberal government's budget for containing no new money for homelessness, housing affordability or first-home buyers?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Minister, please answer, if you choose.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:43): I thank the honourable member for her question. Perhaps she wasn't actually listening when her leader was asking questions about Aboriginal housing, but I referred to $37.5 million for remote housing that was announced in the budget.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, it's going to be hard to get a supplementary out of this, but I will listen to it.
