QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McGRATH (Queensland) (14:58): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. The Housing Industry Association has slammed Labor's proposed 30 per cent trust tax, warning: 'Every week, the government tells Australians they want more homes. Every month, it seems there's another tax or piece of regulation that makes building them harder.' Why is the Prime Minister hitting family owned building businesses with yet another tax when Australia is already in a housing crisis and desperately needs more homes built?
