I live in a 45-unit Department of Housing complex at Bateau Bay in the electorate of Dobell.
Emma McBride (Labor) currently holds a 1.5 per cent lead.
Would the Prime Minister Albanese please come and do one of his press releases/photo ops so we can get some money for repairs?
Repairs are needed for such things as drainage, leaking bathrooms, broken tiles on roofs.
Not to mention that every time it rains half the units get flooded.
There is excessive mould, broken paths and driveways, lack of security fencing and basic maintenance.
Or is it, PM, that you don’t care about us old people?
This is a marginal seat and just two things you have failed us on – cost of living and soaring energy prices – will lose you the seat of Dobell by at least 45 votes.

Barry Lloyd, Bateau Bay
I refer to the email of Barry Lloyd of Bateau Bay and say that I understand the frustration and sympathise with Barry. This should not be allowed to happen to any tenants, let alone our elderly.
However Barry is confused and wrong. Public housing is administered by the State, not the Federal Government.
Most importantly, pensioners, especially renters, have fared better under the Albanese Government than any previous LNP Government. Barry has been reading the Daily Telegraph too much, to is own detriment. A Dutton Government will treat elderly pensioners very poorly.
I also live in doh . You have to fix the mould yourself, immediately – as it causes health problems.use white-vinegar & hot water to start with. open windows & get fresh air…
its worth hiring a cleaner if you can’t do it.
