QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator BRAGG (New South Wales) (14:11): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Farrell. The Australian National Audit Office has announced it is undertaking a performance audit of the design and the delivery of the Housing Australia Future Fund which will look to 'assess the effectiveness of the Department of the Treasury's design and delivery of the Housing Australia Future Fund'.

Minister, why is the government, in some cases, paying up to $1.3 million for a single home?
