RENTAL HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
749. Mr A. KRSTICEVIC to the Minister for Housing:
I have a supplementary question. Is
the minister committed to lowering house prices in Western Australia to
increase housing affordability?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members!

AnswerView source ↗

It will not surprise any member in
this chamber to learn that I have a significant amount of self-belief and a certain
amount of self-confidence, like many members in here, but even I cannot extend
to that and wave a magic wand and suddenly improve housing affordability. It
requires a nuanced approach, multi-tiered by state and federal governments, to
ensure that we can deliver the sorts of outcomes that can make a positive
change to the structural problems that we have.
The SPEAKER : That is the end
of question time.
