Foreign Investment Review Board

Mr Fletcher asked the Treasurer, in writing, on 8 May 2012:

Can he provide data compiled over the past 10 years by the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB), indicating approvals for the purchase, by non-citizens, of residential real estate in the electoral division of Bradfield, using the different categories of residential real estate provided on the FIRB's website.

Mr Swan: The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

The Foreign Investment Review Board does not classify foreign investment approvals within its record keeping system on the basis of electoral boundary and the data is therefore not available.
