"We cannot remain insular, imposing a quasi-form of protectionism to prop up profits at the expense of consumers. This should be fair for all, not for some."

- Federal Labor Member for Chifley, Ed Husic

A big congratulations to Tim Hammond on his appointment as ALP Senior Vice President, and on a hard fought campaign.

"The truth is the Greens are perpetuating a con. They frustrate development proposals in their own backyard while demanding the rest of Sydney take the overflow and then plot to overturn the roads needed to transport this population"

"This is a disruptive idea. In theory, the size of the market is equal to the number of people with spare rooms and rides. Price matters, but reputation matters more. Every person who uses your service can tell every other person whether your service is worth using."

 - Daniel Mookhey is a Labor MLC in the NSW upper house.

Labor has a proud record of building affordable housing, but bold action will be needed to meet the challenges of the future.
