Northern Victoria Region
Mr GEPP (Northern Victoria) (12:35): (1739) My constituency question is for the Minister for Housing, the Honourable Richard Wynne, and it relates to public and social housing. Minister, I have been contacted in the last couple of weeks by constituents in Northern Victoria who are public housing residents who want to know, given certain comments in recent weeks, what style, brand and cost range they should consider for their footwear in order to remain in public and social housing. The same applies to the type of mobile telephone that they own and whether or not the government believes it is appropriate for them to own either an iPhone or a Samsung which is not the latest model. Does the minister believe that should the wrong choice in footwear or telecommunications have already been made by these residents they will be kicked out onto the street because of it?
