 Anasina GRAY-BARBERIO (Northern Metropolitan) (12:51): (1942) My constituency question is to the Minister for Housing and Building. Minister, my constituent, Gelareh, is advocating for her father, Hossein, who lives with a disability and has limited mobility in Epping. She wrote to me in distress after years of delay and mismanagement from the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing’s Preston office. Hossein’s priority social housing application has been pending for over 13 years. Without safe and suitable housing, he is at risk of homelessness, and the stress is taking a serious toll on both his and Gelareh’s health. Minister, everyone deserves a stable home. Why is this Labor government failing to provide accessible housing for people with disabilities? Minister, will you follow up to ensure Hossein is finally allocated a suitable two-bedroom house before the end of the year? This family has been waiting long enough.
