Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (14:46): (394) My constituency question is to the Minister for Housing. In March this year I called upon the then Minister for Housing to address the immediate need for rectification works at the Dunkley Fox estate in Highett. Seven months on, no action has been taken. Last Friday I met with residents of the Dunkley Fox estate to discuss the dangers they are being subjected to on a daily and nightly basis. They told me that their homes are filled with termites, properties are vandalised and defaced with graffiti and smashed-up cars and rotting waste lie across the estate. The children’s playground is unusable because of syringes and regular drug use. Residents have made numerous calls to Victoria Police because their homes are being broken into, they are being confronted with weapons and squatters are occupying abandoned units for drug production and other illicit activities. Everybody has the right to live safely without fear for their own personal safety or the safety of their family and neighbours. So I ask: when will the minister fix this totally unacceptable situation?
