STATE HOUSING STRATEGY
I refer to the development of the state housing strategy, which was originally announced in 2001 and is currently available only on the departmental website in draft form. (1) Has it been completed; and, if so, when was it completed, where is it publicly available and what aspects of it have been implemented? (2) Given the explosion in rents in Western Australia and the pain that this is causing Western Australian families, how does the Premier justify the massive delay in the development of this strategy? (3) Does the Premier recognise that if he had completed the strategy within a decent time frame, he could have helped prevent the rental crisis now confronting Western Australia? Mr A.J. CARPENTER

I thank the member for the question. (1)-(3) Housing issues, land availability and cost of living pressures are big issues in the community, and that is why we were pleased to announce last November-December our package to assist people into homeownership, which was very well received. Mrs M.H. Roberts : Last February—a year ago. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : It was last February. There is the shared equity program and there have been significant boosts to public housing. Mr T. Buswell : What have you done for rentals and where is the strategy? The SPEAKER : Order, Leader of the Opposition! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I welcome the students from South Bunbury Primary School to the public gallery and encourage them to take careful note. Those elements of our approach to assist people into the housing market and provide them with opportunities to access homeownership that they otherwise would not have had continue to receive a significant amount of support. I do not have the details with me, obviously, about how many people have accessed the joint equity program. Mr T. Buswell : Where is the housing strategy? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : This is it. Mr T. Buswell : Two years ago it was out for public comment. Seven years ago you initiated it. The SPEAKER : Order, Leader of the Opposition! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I heard a very good first speech today from a new member of Parliament. What I would suggest to the opposition is that it just make Mr Porter the leader now and save time. Mr C.C. Porter : Is that supposed to be being nice to me? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Yes. It was a very good speech; I congratulate the member sincerely. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : It was a mature, well-thought-through speech and showed a considerable amount of promise. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : My suggestion to the state Liberal Party would be to circumvent the obvious and install the new member into the leadership now.

(1) Has it been completed; and, if so, when was it completed, where is it publicly available and what aspects of it have been implemented? (2) Given the explosion in rents in Western Australia and the pain that this is causing Western Australian families, how does the Premier justify the massive delay in the development of this strategy? (3) Does the Premier recognise that if he had completed the strategy within a decent time frame, he could have helped prevent the rental crisis now confronting Western Australia? Mr A.J.

I do not have the details with me, obviously, about how many people have accessed the joint equity program. Mr T. Buswell : Where is the housing strategy? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : This is it. Mr T. Buswell : Two years ago it was out for public comment. Seven years ago you initiated it. The SPEAKER : Order, Leader of the Opposition! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I heard a very good first speech today from a new member of Parliament. What I would suggest to the opposition is that it just make Mr Porter the leader now and save time. Mr C.C. Porter : Is that supposed to be being nice to me? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Yes. It was a very good speech; I congratulate the member sincerely. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members!

(2) Given the explosion in rents in Western Australia and the pain that this is causing Western Australian families, how does the Premier justify the massive delay in the development of this strategy? (3) Does the Premier recognise that if he had completed the strategy within a decent time frame, he could have helped prevent the rental crisis now confronting Western Australia? Mr A.J. CARPENTER replied: I thank the member for the question. (1)-(3) Housing issues, land availability and cost of living pressures are big issues in the community, and that is why we were pleased to announce last November-December our package to assist people into homeownership, which was very well received. Mrs M.H. Roberts : Last February—a year ago. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : It was last February. There is the shared equity program and there have been significant boosts to public housing. Mr T. Buswell : What have you done for rentals and where is the strategy? The SPEAKER : Order, Leader of the Opposition! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I welcome the students from South Bunbury Primary School to the public gallery and encourage them to take careful note. Those elements of our approach to assist people into the housing market and provide them with opportunities to access homeownership that they otherwise would not have had continue to receive a significant amount of support.
