HomeBuilder Program

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:39): My question is again to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer direct RevenueSA to review their decision regarding Jesamine, Jason and their young family from Flagstaff Hill and, if not, why not? With your leave, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr COWDREY: Jesamine, Jason and their young family purchased a property a few years earlier than planned because of the HomeBuilder grant, but recently they received a letter from RevenueSA advising that they have been rejected from accessing HomeBuilder because their build had not commenced within 18 months, even though they had provided the required statutory declaration within 18 months, complete with photographic evidence of their block, confirming that their build had in fact commenced?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer) (14:40): In short, I won't be directing RevenueSA to do anything on the basis of a question that the member for Colton has asked me in this place, because, as I mentioned in response to his first question, the member for Colton unfortunately hasn't furnished me with any information about any of the people that he supposes to advocate for. But if there is a situation that the member for Colton—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Morialta can depart the chamber under 137A for the remainder of question time. He has been for some time on his final warning.

The honourable member for Morialta having withdrawn from the chamber:

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: However, if there are particulars that the member for Colton might bring himself to furnish to me, in that circumstance where it appears on the face of it that they have satisfied all of the criteria of the HomeBuilder scheme, then of course RevenueSA should be encouraged to look at that. But as I have said, if the member for Colton is reluctant to correspond with me and advocate directly on behalf of his constituents and, instead, conduct it through the media, I don't have the opportunity to do that.
