 David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:55): (1664) For the second time this week I intend to raise a matter in the constituency question for the attention of the Minister for Planning. I am particularly concerned about the 18 Windsor Avenue proposed rooming house that has a whole community in absolute uproar. I met last Thursday for the second time with a group – a large group, more than 65 people – at 6 pm on Thursday night in the dark and in the cold. But people came out, they were so concerned about what the government is allowing through the laws and rules that are in place that enable rooming houses to be flicked into residential areas. What I am seeking this time is for the minister to come out and meet me and the community groups that are agitated and very unhappy with the government’s approach. Come out and meet us in the coming weeks, and I will invite the local member, who has been absent on this; it is Mr Fregon. Will you meet us?
