This grant is already discriminatory because it discriminates against buyers of second-hand houses. Why do only new houses qualify? The Government has said this was to act as an incentive to the building industry. The former Senator, Deputy Jim Glennon, got it right – and was backed up by Government Senators – when he said the building industry trousered the grant. Perhaps, in a time of excess, that is acceptable but the building industry must now be faced down. It treats its customers with contempt, allowing them to be gazumped and refusing point blank to tell them the square footage of rooms in properties and so on. It is about time the arrogance of the building industry was taken into consideration and it was taken down a peg or two.
