 John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (10:16): I also attended my first committee hearing for the rental and housing affordability inquiry as a member of the Legal and Social Issues Standing Committee. As a renter I have experienced firsthand the many struggles that renters hold. My community of Southern Metro has some of the largest numbers of renters in the state, and I speak to them almost every day. I am proud to be a member of the Andrews Labor government that is delivering nation-leading reforms in this space.

I hope that everyone in this chamber has a wonderful few weeks break. I am looking forward to getting back into my community and fighting for the local schools, quality healthcare systems and well-paying jobs.
