State and Federal Governments are facing growing backlash from HomeBuilder applicants who say they have missed out on a grant of up to $25,000 because of glitches or technical issues with the online application process.
Clint Calman, from Southport, Queensland, bought his $599,000 townhouse off the plan from developers on December 23 last year.
The added incentive of a $25,000 HomeBuilder grant was one of the main reasons he decided to build a new home, he says.
