DA: Mat Cuthbert, Address by DA Shadow Deputy Minister for Trade, Industry and Competition, during a cost of livinf debate, Parliament (22/09/22)

and administrative ineptitude.

Despite advances in human development during the 90s and early 2000s through the introduction of social housing, an expanded welfare system and a more equitable distribution of public services, the gains made have largely been eroded.
