The Auditor-General has received correspondence from Dr Anne Webster MP dated 17 January 2025, requesting that the Auditor-General conduct an investigation to examine whether the Australian Government's Housing Support Program granted funds in accordance with stated criteria. This request is under consideration and the response will be published here.
Correspondence from Dr Anne Webster MP
Good morning,
I am writing concerning the recently announced Victorian component of the Government's Housing Support Program (https://minister.infrastructure.gov.au/c-king/media-release/albanese-government-turbocharging-housing-victoria) The locations where funding was granted, announced in Mernda alongside a Labor candidate, and with a strong component in the Bendigo electorate - and with nothing allocated in my electorate of Mallee - lead me to question whether the Program granted funds in accordance with stated criteria, and whether that criteria was appropriate in the circumstances.
I ask that the Program be listed on your review process and for confirmation of receipt of my request.
Kind regards
Dr Anne Webster MP
