I met Matthew in 1990 after I wrote a very critical piece in the Sunday Times criticising him and Bob Tucker for launching the Home Loan Guarantee Fund and unwittingly exposing more desperate poor people to unscrupulous housing contractors. He took the criticism well, so well, that consumer protection soon became an integral part of housing delivery. What followed was 12 years of various forms of positive collaboration with Matthew from which I learnt a great deal until I left RSA in 2002 for Perth. I caught up with Matthew more recently in about 2016, .when Barbara was winning the world masters walking championship in Perth. He informed me of all the major housing developments since I had left and remained as positive as ever despite the overwhelming negativity that I heard about RSA. He was always remarkably positive- glass half full. Long life to Barbara and family – Brian Leveson
