Jim McGirr
Jim McGirr was the Premier of New South Wales from 1947 to 1949, representing the Australian Labor Party. His tenure was marked by a significant housing crisis, during which he faced criticism for failing to meet ambitious housing targets promised during his election campaign. Specifically, he pledged to build 90,000 homes in three years but delivered only 57,000, leading to a legacy of challenges in housing policy that are being revisited in contemporary political discourse.
