Jess Wilson: Whose side are you on?
Liberal MP Andrew Bragg was recently asked whether his new policy to deregulate housing standards means low-income earners should just accept living in substandard housing, he replied: "Yes, definitely."
Backing in this new Liberal housing policy, Victorian Liberal MP Tim Wilson said “Some people call it putting a jumper on in winter rather than spending huge amounts of money, tens of thousands of dollars.”

Meanwhile, in the middle of winter, millions of Victorians are living in homes that aren't up to the minimum building standards to stay healthy.
Every year, renting Victorians face higher bills and health risks as their rental properties fail to keep warm, and mould free.

This is unacceptable.

Why is this important?
Good housing standards and support to upgrade homes means cheaper bills, and healthier families.
For $1 saved on energy bills from insulating and properly heating a home, more than $10 is saved within the healthcare system.
Better thermal comfort and less mould in homes leads to fewer GP visits, fewer pharmaceuticals dispensed, and reduced hospital admissions for respiratory and mental health issues.
The Federal Liberal Party has made it clear they would rather working families live in poor quality housing than maintain minimum housing standards.
Victorian Liberal Leader Jess Wilson needs to come clean about where she stands – with working Victorians, or with the landlords in the Liberal Party?
