I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1) Following the
McGowan government's record investment of $875 million as part of the
2020–21 state budget and the announcement of a spot purchasing program
on 5 September—it says 2022, but I think it means 2021, so I will double-check, but I will give the member the rest
of the answer—up to 15 March 2022 a total of 143 properties have
been purchased and settled.
(2) The answer is
in tabular form.
I seek leave to have the response
incorporated into Hansard .
