HomeBuilder Program

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:42): My question is again to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer provide assistance to Evan and Monique from Campbelltown? With your leave and that of the house, sir, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr COWDREY: Evan Katis and Monique Cirocco are first-home buyers who signed a contract to buy a property with the help of the HomeBuilder grant. Now they are concerned that they will have to make up the $25,000 difference because their home will not be built in time, placing them at substantial risk of financial hardship.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer) (14:43): I am not sure of the precise circumstances that the member for Colton raises with me and raises in this place. At the very least, in the first instance, I can certainly make officers available from RevenueSA to understand fully what their circumstances are and whether in their particular circumstances anything can be done for them. But I reiterate the point: in terms of reopening the HomeBuilder scheme, making it available for a cohort of people who are worried that they may miss out on it for not being able to adhere to certain criteria, the reason that is not being entertained is because it would be fundamentally inequitable to those other thousands of South Australians and Australians who have missed out for a range of reasons, particularly not being able to satisfy other criteria of the scheme.

The SPEAKER: I see the member for Light. Members might wish to know, I believe, that it is the member for Light's birthday today.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Light has the call.
