My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. The design of the government's HomeBuilder program has been criticised internally and publicly. Housing experts are concerned that the HomeBuilder program won't deliver for regional areas, where the required spend will overcapitalise existing houses. The LNP member for Herbert and LNP member for Leichhardt have raised concerns that renovations for houses in their electorates will not meet the $150,000 threshold. Minister, how many Australians in regional areas does the government estimate will access the HomeBuilder program?
