Faced with a housing crisis and concerns over energy and living costs, the new NSW treasurer says he’s open to other people’s ideas
very morning Daniel Mookhey is confronted with 14 pairs of glasses – most of which have interchangeable arms. Thetreasurer assesses about 90 sartorial possibilities, before deciding which option to wear that day.
“We are looking at world’s best practice when it comes to the state intervening to build more housing itself and how you can tie that to the construction of transport infrastructure,” he tells Guardian Australia on Wednesday. “The fact that my mum had her house was the difference between us being able to access good schools, good hospitals, and so I care about it a lot,” he says.
