Opposition leader Kellie Sloane says proposed plans for a 34-storey tower are politically motivated, despite supporting more housing in her Vaucluse electorate. She argues the government’s approach is “a little bit suss” and says Premier Chris Minns is “having a lend of everyone,” according to both outlets.
Both reports note that Sloane’s position distinguishes between the need for additional housing and her concerns about the specific development proposal. While she does not oppose more housing in principle, she criticises the current plans’ intent and process. The coverage centers on her claim that the proposal is being used for political reasons rather than purely to address housing supply.
Across the sources, the core point of difference is in emphasis rather than substance: Brisbane Times and The Age describe the same allegation and context—Sloane’s support for more housing alongside her view that the latest tower plans are aimed at her electorate in a way she questions.
