Treasurer table the minutes or any notes
from the meeting that took place yesterday and provide the information that the

I can give confidence to homebuyers
that no government in Australia takes this issue more seriously than ours. We
were criticised. To be honest, we went out on a limb to create a builders loan
facility that has never been done in this state or across the nation. We have
gone out of our way to put in new mechanisms. We were criticised for it. I think
we were criticised by the opposition for the builders loan facility.
Mr R.S. Love : No, you were
not.
Ms R. SAFFIOTI : I think it
did. I will go through and find it.
We
are a government that takes these issues seriously. We have been very nimble in
responding to what is happening through a number of different measures.
We take it very seriously. That is why we acted to change land tax, for
example, as soon as we could, to make sure that those who have been waiting
will not pay land tax. That is why we created the builders loan facility. As I said,
someone point to me an equivalent of this around the nation. There has been no
other. We take it seriously and, as I said, we understand the anxiety that
people are feeling.
In relation to Nicheliving, it is a
big builder and as a result we are working through its particular circumstance. The Minister for Commerce is working very
hard on this issue, as is the rest of government. We take it very seriously. I know that people out there have confidence that we will continue to take this
seriously and make sure, when we can, to support those in need.
