HOUSING SA, DISRUPTIVE TENANTS

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:56): A supplementary question: the minister in his answer said that all metropolitan offices would have a dedicated specialist staff member to deal with disruptive tenants. What is the minister doing for regional situations, and will regional areas be given the same 48-hour response time frame?

The SPEAKER: Before I call the Minister for Communities, I call the member for Kaurna to order. The Minister for Communities.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:57): I thank the honourable member for his question and I can assure the member that, even though we have fewer complaints from the regions, we do have some complaints from the regions. What we are doing is implementing this in the metropolitan area. In three months' time, we will review how the policy is working and those learnings will then be applied across the state.
