IT’s breathtaking … the chutzpah … the hubris …
WHAT could be more socially responsible than development of Social Housing? Currently there is a shortfall of 200,000 social and affordable homes with more than 60,000 households on the social housing waitlist!
BUT this is not what Harry would consider … he wants more and more … he has two large sites in Sydney Olympic Park, two in Macquarie Park including a 63 storey tower that he builds for Chinese buyers … as these well-known quotes reveal:
“The problem with Australians is they are very slow. They ask their lawyer, they ask their financial adviser, they ask their family, they ask everybody. The Chinese don’t ask anybody, they come off the plane, buy their unit and go.”
‘I’ll Buy Cheaper Australia’s Property King is Exploiting the Slump’
“China has more than 1 billion people,” he said. “And they love Australia. I think they love Australia as much as we love Australia. So there will always be enough of them that will buy.”
“Then I will bring in more migrants,” said Mr Triguboff, who believes that many of the current approvals will not quickly be developed.

Therefore why should HT receive special treatment when Australia has thousands of homeless people? Shouldn’t our governments be addressing this issue over and above the profit margins of this very wealthy man?
MERITON had approval in 2017 to build 450 dwellings … now this figure has swollen to 1900 apartments …
AND this developer expects the community to believe that it has sought to mitigate the impact of this development on the surrounding community?
WHY should NSW Planning approve this ahead of 30,000 dwellings for Australia’s Homeless? This would help to address ‘years’ of NSW underspending on public/social housing.
Currently there is a shortfall of 200,000 social and affordable homes with more than 60,000 households on the social housing waitlist!
-30,000 dwellings would create far more jobs than Meriton’s 3000 at Little Bay
