QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator BRAGG (New South Wales) (14:00): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Bragg, I'm really sorry. Senator BRAGG: It's very loud in here, President.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Bragg has the right to have his question heard in silence, particularly by those on my right. Senator Bragg, start again, please. Senator BRAGG: My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong.

Page 294 of the Treasury portfolio budget statements states that the expected performance results of the Housing Australia Future Fund for 2025-26 are as follows: Housing Australia Future Fund, affordable, zero homes built; Housing Australia Future Fund, social, zero homes built; housing Australia fund facility, affordable, zero homes built—zero homes built.

Can the minister confirm that the government's own budget papers show that the HAFF has not built a single new home in 2025-26?
