The Liberal Government continues to fail Tasmanians on housing, as the latest housing dashboard data confirms.
In contrast to the Liberals, housing is a key priority for Labor and a Tasmanian Labor Government would immediately get to work to fix the housing mess this government has created in their decade in office.
Over 4,500 families remain stuck on the waiting list, with the average waiting times now more than a year longer than when the Liberals first formed Government in 2014.
In January Minister Guy Barnett oversaw the delivery of just 10 new social houses. This is, again, nowhere near what he promised.
The government promised big on housing, saying they would deliver 10,000 homes in ten years. That’s 83 houses each month, but month after month the government misses its own target.
A decade of Liberal inaction is hurting Tasmanians. We see it. Tasmanians feel it.
A Labor Government will act on this crisis and ease the pain caused by the Liberals.
Affordable housing is in our DNA, and we would start with the urgent repair of the 215 social and government houses that are uninhabitable due to requiring repairs.
Once hastily repaired it will immediately get 215 families off the wait list.
