The Victorian Labor Government’s housing announcement today is crucial for many young and older renters who are looking for a clear plan.
These voters are concentrated in Melbourne’s inner west, inner and middle eastern suburbs, and the inner southeast.
This announcement is also vital for key workers, like nurses, who often need to rent near their workplaces but are now spending over 50% of their incomes on skyrocketing rental costs.
A lot of electoral potential in this one.
Changing the demographic landscape of Melbourne.
None of this will be good for the Liberal Party but they will more than likely wedge themselves on this announcement.

The State Govt’s plan to concentrate new #Melbourne housing around railway stations makes a lot of sense – but with gaps of up to 40 minutes between trains, and buses even worse, car dependence will still be an issue unless more frequent services are provided.
Why no development for Geelong and Bendigo why just Melbourne we need to decentralise the population in Victoria.
