Footscray electorate

Ms HALL (Footscray) (14:45): (6289) My constituency question is to the Minister for Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation. The Victorian government has acknowledged that issues affecting the property market are of significant interest to people across Victoria and in my community in Melbourne’s inner west. With consumers, including those in my electorate of Footscray, concerned about housing affordability, increases in the already high property market prices driven by COVID-19 and record low interest rates and up-front costs for buyers entering the market, to obtain insights into the current state of the property market the minister has commissioned a property market review. Minister, will you and the property market review team meet with me and the constituents of Footscray to fully understand their concerns and issues with the local current property sales laws and regulations?
