I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) RevenueWA
does not hold data on the total number of first home buyers in Western Australia.
The only data collected by RevenueWA is applications for the first home owner
grant and/or the first home owner concessional rate of duty. Not all first homebuyers
will apply for the grant or the concession.
