I live in and represent Lucan and Quarryvale, areas currently the focus of investigation by the Flood tribunal in regard to political decisions made in respect to land rezoning. This area has a huge population and the decisions had a major effect on people's lives, sometimes for the worst. There have been implications for the availability of housing, house prices, facilities or lack of, and planning for communities. It is important for the communities concerned and the future of politics that the tribunal gets to the bottom of the reasons decisions were taken, if they were taken for the right reasons or if there were other agendas at stake.
