NICHELIVING — HOME CONSTRUCTION DELAYS
387. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. Will the Premier be instructing his minister to
keep careful minutes of this meeting and to provide an outline of the
results of the discussions?

AnswerView source ↗

One
thing I will not be doing is taking advice from those opposite on housing. In
my previous answer, I went through the extensive range of programs,
incentives and funding that we are providing to make sure that we support the
residential construction industry. Only one group has criticised every element
of those things, whether it was our home
builders' support facility, our short-term residential accommodation
incentive scheme, the incentives around —
Mr R.S. Love interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please!
Mr R.H. COOK : Everything that
we have done, those opposite have criticised. All of a sudden, they now want to
come into the debate and be on the side of providing support to those who have
been doing it tough. We have been doing that for months, member—months!
It is a bit late for him to come in here and start criticising us when
everything he has done has been to criticise every effort that we have made in
this area.
Mr R.S. Love interjected.
The SPEAKER : Leader of the
Opposition!
Mr R.H. COOK : We are seeing
progress being made. There is a long way to go, but we are making progress. That is no thanks to those opposite, who have
criticised and, quite frankly, opposed everything that we have brought to this program, which is actually meeting with success.
