Housing Trust

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:41): Supplementary question.

The SPEAKER: I hope it is a supplementary, therefore the member will not be reading it because it arises from the minister's answer

Ms SANDERSON: Yes. Whilst the minister is getting that information, could she please find out if it will be implemented by December this year. That was in line with the Auditor-General's estimates questions from 2014, and I quote vaguely without reading it, 'The computer system currently used by the South Australian Housing Trust'—

The Hon. P. Caica: You do things vaguely very well!

The SPEAKER: The member for Colton is called to order for that interjection.

Ms Chapman: You can read the quote. You're allowed to do that.

Ms SANDERSON: Okay. In 2014, the Auditor-General's Report reported, and I quote, with your leave and that of the house, 'The Housing SA application system platform was outdated and the mainframe technology tools supporting Housing SA's key systems will not be commercially supported by December 2015.'

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) (14:42): I thank the member for the question and acknowledge that that was raised by the Auditor-General. I know that housing continues to talk, along with Renewal SA, about their involvement here. I will come back to you with that answer.
