Influential Sydney broadcaster Alan Jones has gave some on-air support to the Urban Taskforces publicly expressed concerns about the future of the housing industry earlier this month (5 October).
Mr Jones referred to Urban Taskforce comments where we said that NSW is going to continue to decline and decline more rapidly than the other states with new record lows for housing starts.
He said there is legitimacy in what Mr Gadiel is saying.
Its all very well to talk about public consultation, but we seem to be a bureaucracy gone mad, Mr Jones said.
Well I dont know what the answer is but I will say this: development at the behest of local government, full of greenies and everybody else, and driven by bureaucracy, development at the behest of local government may well mean no development at all.”
