Question details

(2334) My question is for the Minister for Natural Disaster Recovery. Will the minister take immediate action to provide proper housing support to those affected by the 2026 summer bushfires? After the Black Saturday fires and the October 2022 floods there was a big effort to ensure that people in immediate need got housing, so over the past few weeks it has been extremely disappointing to hear from residents in the Longwood and Harcourt fire zones that the government has failed to provide an adequate housing response for people who lost their homes in the 2026 summer fires. Some dilapidated caravans have been donated, but there has been nothing substantial from the government to support people who have lost everything. It is vital that after a disaster housing is provided that allows families to remain present and connected in their communities as they recover and enables children to stay in their local schools. The Allan Labor government has let these people down, and I call on the minister to take immediate action to fix this.
