 Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) (12:51): I would also like to point out that when we are talking about a fresh start we are also talking about a fresh start in the housing sector. It is disappointing again to see the most recent Victorian housing register waiting list, which has ballooned. Unfortunately for those waiting for a home in Victoria, in just the last 12 months – can you imagine? – 5294 extra families have been added to the ever-growing waiting list for a home here in Victoria. This government talks big on housing but acts so little. It is not putting the focus where it is needed. We need a fresh start in Victoria. We need a fresh start to make sure families that deserve a home get one.
