    Sad to see Govt keen to push thru unpopular when its record on looking after those blighted by the scandal is scandalous. The will continue to campaign to right this wrong that affects so many innocent private leaseholders.

    ....On , the Govt yet again promises action but clearly has no plan.... The ostensible problem now is funding.... But this is a classic case where you can’t have your cake an eat it. If you want a fair, workable and durable solution, you’ve got to pay for it. 2/4
