The coalition have sold off almost every public asset - more and more each time they are in power. It's so infuriating to watch as social benefits from our remaining govt budget are decreasing dramatically with the loss of income. I'm incensed by their negligent recklessness.

As to the loss of housing, well this again, is just further proof that LNP don't care if poor and vulnerable are housed. God forbid, we cant have low income people living somewhere practical, convenient, and with a nice view! Though I'd hazard a guess that public housing was not rebuilt elsewhere to replace the loss of accommodation from the selling of this building.
