Mr. Dylan Nelson:

Like Mr. Delaney and Ms Smith, I am annoyed that Deputy Leddin has gone because his attitude is that it should be in the policy that we should provide it. That is a clueless way of putting it. I know what is in the policy as I have read it. If I cannot find the policy, I ring Mr. Delaney and ask him to find the policy for me. I have memorised the housing policy and know the Government is supposed to provide access to all homes. There are two-bedroom and one-bedroom apartments. I applied for a one-bedroom apartment because I knew I would not get a two-bedroom apartment. I knew the powers that be would dismiss my application out of hand if I applied for a two-bedroom apartment. I was told to apply for a one-bedroom apartment even though a two-bedroom apartment would be better but I have absolutely no hope of getting one.

We have issues around accessibility. I know what is in the policy. It should be provided because it is in the policy but nobody is enforcing the policy and nobody cares.

The people building these homes know they will not be penalised for not providing it. In a pub recently, I asked the barman for directions to the disabled toilet and he handed me a plastic pint glass and said "There you go". I had to sit in the middle of the men's toilet, with my trousers down, trying to go to the bathroom because the policies around disabled toilets and access were not enforced.
