Riverland Homeless

Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:10): My question is to the Minister for Social Communities and Social Inclusion. What measures were put in place in the Riverland prior to the forecast one in 50 year weather event to assist homeless people sleeping rough?

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:10): I will have to take on notice the exact support that was provided but, as you know, Centacare provides that service for homelessness. I will get some details from them about what they were doing. I assume they would go out and contact people who they already know and provide them with accommodation, whether it would be in the facilities they already have available or in hotel/motel accommodation, but I will take that on notice.
