Social housing—renewal
Discussion of matter of public importance
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Mrs Dunne): Mr Speaker has received letters from Dr Bourke, Ms Bresnan, Mr Coe, Mr Doszpot, Mr Hanson, Mr Hargreaves, Ms Hunter, Ms Le Couteur, 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 Dr Bourke be submitted to the Assembly, namely:
The importance of social housing renewal in the ACT.
DR BOURKE (Ginninderra) (3.08): Every member of this place would agree that social housing is critically important to the economic and social wellbeing of our city. Social housing provides the basic foundation on which thousands of Canberrans are given the opportunity to lead stable, healthy and productive lives, linked to employment, education, health and other services. Social housing provides some of the most vulnerable people in our city with an opportunity to reach their potential, to make a contribution and to share the benefits of our community. This is why this Labor government has always been so committed to growth and renewal of our public housing stock. It is what we stand for as a party and what we stand for as a government.
It is important to make the point that the public housing system in Canberra is not just about housing, but also about providing services and support.
