00:01The perfect setting to sell a policy for bigger garages.
00:07The government expanding its rent-to-own scheme
00:13while gearing up for another fight to mandate minimum garage sizes.
00:18The law changes were opposed across the board before the election,
00:21forcing Labor to park them.
00:23But the Premier, undeterred, is trying again.
00:26The building sector is building garages that can't fit cars and I'm going to fix it.
00:33The latest critic, the Productivity Commission,
00:35which argues minimum parking mandates act as a barrier to new housing
00:39and home buyers can make their own choice.
00:43And they might choose to have a smaller garage or no garage
00:45in order to be able to actually afford a place.
00:47So we should let people themselves make those types of decisions.
00:51Well, it's a deluded perspective.
00:53Deluded or not, it's a perspective shared by property developers.
00:58What we're hearing from members is that it will change the way
01:01that they need to carve up blocks,
01:02which means that you can't get the same yield,
01:04which has a massive impact on housing affordability.
01:07The Premier says the legislation will be reintroduced to Parliament shortly.
01:11But whether it will pass this time round is not yet clear.
01:15While the Greens remain opposed to the bill,
01:17One Nation and the Liberals say they'll review it before deciding.
01:21I will work with the Minister in the interest of all South Australians
01:25to ensure improvement where it's meritorious.
01:28Differing views on a generational problem.
01:31Picture journalists.
