Renua: Pre-fabs will lead to slums

Emergency pre-fab accommodation for homeless families will lead to “slum” living, Renua has warned.

Party leader Lucinda Creighton said “ghettoes and slums” would be the result of the policy as she called for a range of Government deals with developers to push house building.

Modular homes have been touted by the Government as a way to ease the housing shortage, but Renua believes some political parties want to keep people who have experiences housing difficulties in specific localities to gain electoral advantage.
