Industry calls for Housing Minister in Cabinet

The REIA has called on the Rudd Government to promptly appoint a dedicated Minister for Housing within Cabinet, to reflect the wide ranging socio-economic implications of housing. REIA President Noel Dyett said there was an unprecedented level of interest in housing affordability during the Federal election campaign which had brought the issue firmly onto the national agenda. The REIA looks forward to the Rudd Government implementing its housing affordability policies as soon as possible.
