Housing affordability
Discussion of matter of public importance
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Mrs Dunne): Mr Speaker has received letters from Mrs Burke, myself, Dr Foskey, Mr Gentleman, Ms MacDonald, Mr Mulcahy, Ms Porter, Mr Seselja and Mr Smyth proposing that matters of public importance be submitted to the Assembly. In accordance with standing order 79, Mr Speaker has determined that the matter proposed by Ms MacDonald be submitted to the Assembly, namely:
The importance of increasing the supply of affordable housing.
MS MacDONALD (Brindabella) (3.47): Over the past few years there has been a trend nationally and internationally where housing has become less affordable. We here in the ACT are not immune from this trend despite the fact that the ACT continually performs well in all of the statistical indicators on housing affordability and that Canberra is the most affordable city in Australia. This government understands that not all Canberrans are as well off as others. This government understands that the affordability of housing is an issue facing many Canberrans.
