Ovens Valley electorate housing

 Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (13:02): I met with some young people from North East Support and Action for Youth Wangaratta last week to discuss the shortage of available rental homes. The stories about the lack of safe housing options can be quite confronting. The Victorian Labor government needs to pause the tunnels for a while and build public housing so people in regional Victoria have a chance to rent a house. We are currently told a five-year wait is on offer from Beyond Housing for accommodation in Wangaratta. This is a failure of the Allan Labor government’s leadership.
