Greens to Target Federal Government’s Move to Address Housing Crisis
The Greens have said they will target the federal government’s National Housing Supply and Affordability Council after Housing Minister Julie Collins announced that the outgoing CEO of property developer Mirvac, Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, will head up the interim body.
Max-Chandler Mather, the Greens spokesperson for Housing and Homelessness, said the decision to appoint a property developer as head of the interim body was completely unacceptable and went against the democratic process.
“It’s completely unacceptable that the government would seek to subvert the standard democratic process and hand over the Chair position to a property developer,” Mather said.
“When Labor finally introduces the bill to establish the National Housing Supply and Affordability Council next year, the Greens will move amendments to ban property developers from serving on the Council.”…
