My question is to the Prime Minister. According to the Housing Industry Association:

An increase of 5 per cent in the GST on a typical house and land package in Sydney will increase the cost of a mortgage by around $60,000 over the life of the loan.

Why is the Prime Minister so intent on making the dream of home ownership even harder by increasing the GST?
