The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, will ask the Prime Minister the following in Question Time today …
“Prime Minister you’d be aware of my correspondence alerting you to Tasmania’s housing crisis, especially in Hobart. I urged you to help remedy the situation.
“For instance the Commonwealth public housing debt is costing Tasmania $15 million a year in interest payments and consuming a great chunk of the State’s Commonwealth public housing assistance. Indeed it’s the biggest impediment to the Tasmanian Government being able to significantly increase investment in public housing and give thousands of people a home.
“So Prime Minister, will you axe Tasmania’s housing debt to the Commonwealth, as was done for South Australia in 2013, and in doing so really help to do something about the housing crisis?”
WHEN: Approximately 2:15pm TODAY 28 March
WHERE: House of Representatives (watch live at https://www.aph.gov.au/News_and_Events/Watch_Parliament)
Authorised by Andrew Wilkie MP 188 Collins St Hobart
