EXCELLENT SPEECH BY ELLEN SANDELL -
VIC STATE GREENS -
SPOKESPERSON FOR HOUSING.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFAbPohwazM
"I rise to speak on the urgent need to increase public housing stock and to ensure it remains owned and managed by the Government"
"We've heard some worrying reports that the Andrews Labor government may be intending to privatise a significant proportion of Public Housing in Victoria."
"I'm worried that they may want to transfer a large amount of public housing to private 'community' or 'affordable housing' groups. While many community housing providers do great work, they should be supported in addition to public housing not instead of it."
"While we need to increase all forms of affordable housing, we absolutely must not reduce our public housing stock"
"The government should not wash its hands of public housing. Too many people rely on it. It needs to remain an essential part of what the government does."
