The Andrews government dumped an ambitious cabinet-approved plan to lift the proportion of social housing in Victoria by almost two-thirds, opting instead to respond to the housing crisis with a voluntary, developer-led delivery of so-called affordable housing.
Isn’t brave enough to stand up to developers? He acts like he’s on their payroll. He’s effectively privatised public housing in Victoria:
Calling it “Building Communities” is a bad joke when they’re in the process of destroying communities. It’s sickening. In privatising public housing, Andrews has done what even Kennett wouldn’t dare to do.
Dan’s been far too eager to help out the property developers and construction companies. The extension on CityLink tolls that Transurban got as part of the West Gate Tunnel project was just too good to be true. Meanwhile, Vic Labor is running up more debt, which will inevitably lead to another Kennett being elected when servicing the debt becomes crippling. But this time, there won’t be anything left to sell off to pay down the debt.
