Warrandyte electorate
Nicole WERNER (Warrandyte) (14:52): (634) My question is to the Assistant Treasurer, and my question is: when will my constituent Suzanne Ralph receive the $160,000 owed to her by the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority to finish her home after the Porter Davis Homes collapse? Suzanne, a local mother of two, has already spent over $100,000 of her own money trying to complete her unfinished house; however, there are still over 50 defects with the home, which the VMIA acknowledged in writing and agreed to pay for in November last year. Yet six months later they still have not paid and are now refusing to pay. When Suzanne appeared on Channel 10’s The Project to share her story out of sheer desperation, the VMIA said that they would pay if she provided the receipts for the $160,000 of repairs. There are no receipts because the house has not been repaired yet. How can she fix the house without the money? The VMIA must pay the agreed amount so Suzanne can have the home that she and her family have worked so hard for.
