(1) How much of this $560 million is from —
(a) state government funding; and
(b) federal government funding?
(2) How much of this funding is —
(a) listed in previous state
government budgets; and
(b) newly allocated funding?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1) All funding is provided by the state government.

The state budget will include significant detail about the nature and timing of
expenditure for the social housing investment package. It is not appropriate to
comment on this detail prior to the budget being delivered by the Treasurer.
