 Josh BULL (Sunbury) (15:09): More homes means more opportunity, and that is why I was delighted to see such significant, transformative and bold announcements made by the Premier just last week. This government is all about delivering those real, tangible differences that change lives for all Victorians, and that is why those were such critical announcements for both the government and the people of this great state: more funding for the outer suburbs and a long-term vision for greenfields growth; the provision for the slashing of stamp duty for off-the-plan apartments, townhouses and new units; more homes in regional Victoria; and critically, the unlocking of government land near train stations and public transport. We know that doing these things, making these decisions, builds upon our strong and sustained record of delivering more homes closer to where people can move about, thanks to a long-term vision and significant transport investments that have been made by this team over a long period of time. We know that the Liberal Party and the Greens political party are all about the politics and not about the people. These planned reforms will put more roofs over heads, changing lives, improving lives and transforming local communities, and only Labor will get this done.
