QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (14:52): Minister, I would suggest that no-one in Australia believes that foreign purchases are less than two per cent a year. Surveys of real estate agents put the figure as high as 10 per cent. Why won't your government require all real estate sales to be accompanied by proof of citizenship or permanent residency, to ensure no foreign purchases are slipping through undetected?
