Ms PLIBERSEK (Sydney—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): 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? Mr Matheson interjecting— Mr Ewen Jones interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Macarthur will not interject, and I remind the member for Herbert that he has been warned. This is his final warning.
