Housing Affordability

My question is to the Minister for Housing. There are 36,566 dwellings under the National Rental Affordability Scheme across the country, with Queensland home to almost one-third of these. All are to be removed from the market by 2026. But the government's housing future fund has only promised 30,000 affordable homes over five years. As rents and interest rates continue to skyrocket, does the government acknowledge this plan doesn't even account for the loss of NRAS housing, let alone deal with the scale of the housing crisis?
