I personally have had and my department have had extensive discussions with not just developers but also superannuation funds, institutional investors and community housing providers, who are also potential beneficiaries of this scheme. We have had extensive consultations. We have released the National Rental Affordability Scheme technical paper; the feedback I have had on that is good. I am confident that there is a substantial demand in the community for this initiative. The conferences I have been to, the meetings I have had, the discussions I have had with people are overwhelmingly positive.

Proposed expenditure agreed to.
