The Palaszczuk Government cannot be trusted to fix Queensland’s housing crisis.
The track record of this 3rd term Labor Government speaks for itself.
These are the facts:
- The Palaszczuk Government’s own figures show there are more than 50,000 Queenslanders waiting for social housing.
- Queensland spends the least on social housing compared to any other state or territory.
- More than 1 in 5 homes the Palaszczuk Government promised to deliver in 2017 haven’t been built.
- The Auditor-General uncovered the social housing the Palaszczuk Government promised to build won’t meet the surging demand.
- The Palaszczuk Government has no forecasts or targets for how much social housing stock is needed in Queensland.
- As property prices soared, the Palaszczuk Government chose greed over Queenslanders and sold off 295 homes and 67 empty blocks of land in the 18 months to June this year.
- It will take the Palaszczuk Government 25 years to deliver the promised $1 billion social housing fund with only $40 million budgeted to house the most vulnerable Queenslanders.
- The Palaszczuk Government’s failure to unlock new land has seen residential building approvals fall 27% year on year from 2015 to 2021.
- Demand for social housing has never been as high as it is now, but the Minister continues to fail the most vulnerable Queenslanders who desperately need a roof over their head.
The facts speak for themselves.
The Palaszczuk Government cannot be trusted to deliver for Queenslanders.
Queenslanders deserve so much better than this.
