Ovens Valley electorate housing
Mr McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (09:40): The housing shortage in the Ovens Valley electorate is at flashpoint. I continue to be called on by constituents that have been notified to leave their rental properties. There is simply nowhere for them to go. The short-sighted government for Melbourne has again only had eyes for Melbourne and the metropolitan suburbs they hold or those they need to form government. The big build in Melbourne has become regional Victoria’s biggest headache. The Premier must be joking when he says he governs for all Victorians—that is, provided you live in Melbourne.
