Richmond electorate
Gabrielle DE VIETRI (Richmond) (14:48): (906) My question is for the Minister for Housing. 479 brave public housing residents in North Richmond and Flemington are standing up to the government and resisting the demolition of their homes through a class action. They argue that their human rights have not been considered in the decision to demolish their homes. Homes Victoria is forbidden from evicting tenants before the trial is over. Like in Flemington and North Melbourne, public housing residents in Richmond are being pressured by Homes Victoria to sign relocation papers. Given that the decision to demolish their homes applies equally to Richmond as it does to the other public housing towers, will the minister leave Richmond public housing residents in peace until the court case is over?
