Re: Housing Affordability

Dear Mr. Bartlett,

1 understand your government is looking into the affordability of housing. 1 feel this is well overdue. 1 would like to ask you government to consider extending the "First Home Owners GraWto include people who once owned a home but have not owned a home for many years.

To stop this change of policy having a impact on housing prices 1 feel this offer should be fazed in over a number of years. The first year First home buyers & peole who have not owned a home for 30 years or more. The next year First Home buyers and people who have not owned a home for 20 years or more, and then finaly the next year extending the offer to people who have not owned a home for 10 years or more.

1 feet that this is a change of policy that should be implemented sooner rather than later.

Yours sincerely

Dear Ms Wicks

1 have received a letter from Mr Adam Scott, a constituent in my electorate. His correspondence relates to affordability of housing and he raises the issue of a person who once may have owned a home but has not done so for many years and wishes to re‑enter.

His idea is not without merit and 1 am happy to submit his letter to the Inquiry into First Home Ownership.

Yours sincerely
