Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1030 asked in the Legislative Council on 25 October 2022 by Hon Dr Steve Thomas

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

HOME INDEMNITY INSURANCE SCHEME

1030. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the Minister for Commerce:

I refer to the minister's announcement of 19 October 2022 pertaining to the state government's home indemnity insurance scheme.

(1) How many indemnity insurance claims were made in the financial years 2020–21 and 2021–22?

(2) As the insurance scheme excludes apartments over three storeys, will the minister undertake to rectify and review the current framework, which is insufficient for protecting apartment owners and is essentially stifling purchaser investment in apartments?

(3) Given the McGowan government's infill target of 47 per cent in Western Australia, will the government commit to parity in providing access to home indemnity insurance for all apartment owners?

(4) If no to (3), why not?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

(1)–(4) I thank the member for the question. The Minister for Commerce has advised that this information will be provided on 26 October 2022.
