Hotels across the country are being used to house asylum seekers. How do you feel about local hotels being turned into accommodation for asylum seekers?
00:00Asylum hotels, so hotels across the country are being used to house asylum seekers now.
00:06How do you feel about local hotels being turned into accommodation?
00:10I don't know really, it's difficult isn't it? People have got to live somewhere and if there isn't enough housing for them because everyone's turned them into Airbnbs,
00:17then you know it's not surprising that this is happening and you know I know people don't want to be living necessarily next door to that but everybody's got to live somewhere so yeah.
00:27How do you feel about local hotels being turned into accommodation?
00:32I haven't got a problem with it. I think that too much emphasis is put on people who come in on boats.
00:40You've got to ask why they would risk it and deal with the bigger issues, the bigger socio-economic issues that make people riot and do ghastly things rather than focusing on where we're housing them.
