Housing
Michael O’BRIEN (Malvern) (12:55): One in five of Labor’s new high-rise, high-density development zones – a dozen of them – are being stacked into my Malvern electorate. There has been no consultation with my community, no voice and no choice under Labor. Labor wants to give their developer mates and political donors the red carpet while taking away the rights of local families to have their say by stripping away the right to object. It is not on. Unlike Labor, I will work with Stonnington council to encourage more housing where it is needed. We want genuine housing options that offer choice and amenity, not Labor’s high-rise, high-density dog boxes.
