Defence Housing Australia Amendment Bill 2025

Senator SHOEBRIDGE (New South Wales) (12:56): Minister, my hope would be that the ordinary way in which Defence Housing Australia conduct their business is by only entering into contracts to build homes where it is lawful to do so. I ask you again: did Defence Housing Australia sign contracts to build homes for US and UK defence personnel as part of the signed contracts for 550 homes Senator Whiteaker refers to?

If so, on what possible legal basis did they do so?
