QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms BOELE (Bradfield) (14:21): My question is to the Treasurer. Foodbank Australia's Hunger report2025 reveals that one in three Australian households have experienced food insecurity in the last 12 months. This means that 3½ million Australian families could be going without food tonight.

Foodbank has a proposal that would make it cheaper for food producers to donate excess food to those in need, reduce food waste and save taxpayers' dollars. Will the Treasurer commit to legislating a national food donation tax incentive which would achieve these aims?
