 Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (13:04): (2260) My question is to the Minister for Housing and Building. Social and affordable housing in Latrobe Valley is in desperate need, and four years ago, on 12 April 2022, the then housing minister said, ‘This will include a legacy of affordable housing for the Latrobe Valley.’ Well, this week we had the housing minister on Tuesday 17 March on the ABC saying construction on 72 homes at English Street, Morwell, will begin next month. The first question is: will the minister actually guarantee that that will occur? And of those 72 homes, apparently only 10 per cent are going to be social and affordable housing. Can the minister guarantee that these homes will actually begin in April 2026, four years after the announcement?
