Essendon electorate housing

Danny PEARSON (Essendon – Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, Assistant Treasurer, Minister for WorkSafe and the TAC) (09:46): I am really pleased that as a local member of Parliament I have been able to push so hard to get more community housing within the electorate of Essendon. I was delighted to join the Minister for Housing recently when we opened brand new housing – housing which was opposed by the Greens political party, housing which has always been opposed by the Greens political party because unless it is their way it is the highway. It is not good enough. Public housing tenants deserve modern, decent, energy-efficient 21st-century accommodation. That is exactly what they are getting delivered under the Allan Labor government.
