My question is to the Minister for Housing—or the Treasurer in her stead. Warringah contains some of the most expensive land in the country, contributing to a shortage of crisis accommodation and social and affordable housing. The government has announced plans to divest part of HMAS Penguin land at Balmoral in Warringah and intends to seek full market value, prompting concerns the land will be sold to wealthy developers for luxury apartments and not address issues of public, social and affordable houses or crisis accommodation. Will the minister take steps to ensure this public asset is used for social benefit?
