“There’s a range of hotels across Sydney that have commercial agreements with the state government to house people for a night or a week or a month that would otherwise be homeless,” he told Sky News host Steve Price.
“On one hand, yes, it is an outrageous amount of money, but on the other – if it weren’t for this $160 million for motels and hotels, we would have a situation like in San Francisco, lie in other parts of the world where the streets were tragically flooded by homeless people.”
