Housing
David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (09:51): I want to draw the chamber’s attention to the extraordinary failure in public housing under this government. It is clear that the enormous Big Housing Build, the poorly named and poorly implemented project, is a dud. It is clear that it has delivered longer waiting lists and longer waiting times. It is clear that 394 is the total number of new properties in existence since 2018 amid promises of 12,000 new properties and the average waiting time now is 18.1 months, up massively. The waiting time for those facing domestic violence is up from eight months to 23.6 months. The waiting lists are up. The build is botched. It is a shocking outcome. The state government can never manage money. They can never manage major projects. Everything they touch is botched.
