QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms WATSON-BROWN (Ryan) (14:15): My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. The median house price in capital cities across Australia has increased by $35,000 in the last three months as a result of the government's five per cent house deposit scheme. Modelling suggests this policy could increase house prices by 10 per cent in the first year alone.

Will you admit that the Labor government is driving unsustainable house-price growth for the benefit of big banks and at the expense of everyday Australians?
