Housing SA Tenancies

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (14:58): In her answer, the minister said that we have a high turnover of tenancies. How effective can an education program be when we have such short-term leases and if people, potentially, are not there long enough to receive the education?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Treasurer is warned and the member for Unley is called to order.

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:59): As I indicated in my answer, this multistorey flat group is indicated to be sold. One of the ways that we can vacate the site in a time frame is to have short-term leases. About 80 per cent of the tenants in Housing SA are on long-term, ongoing leases and, when people come in, they have probationary, one-year or two-year leases. It is not unusual for us to have some people on short-term leases.
