Is the advice provided to the minister to this house on 7 September in relation to homelessness figures accurate? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain. Leave granted. Mr WHETSTONE House of Assembly Chaffey Mr WHETSTONE: On 7 September, the minister said, and I quote: …nationally the homelessness numbers have not come out since 2016, so unless she has some sort of jingly belt…crystal ball I have no idea how she knows that the homelessness figures have not gone up… The truth is that figures are released on a monthly basis by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, including national data and a breakdown by each state and territory. The Hon. N.F. COOK House of Assembly Hurtle Vale Minister for Human Services The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services) (14:44): At the time, I was assuming she was talking about the RoGS, which are coming out in January. That was the comparative I was using.
