When will the minister follow up with Megan from Paralowie to ensure that she does not become homeless? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain. Leave granted. Ms PRATT House of Assembly Frome Ms PRATT: It was reported on Seven News last night that Megan, a single mother of four children from Paralowie who cares for her visually impaired father full time, lives in private rental but can no longer afford to do so on a carer's pension. Megan has tirelessly applied for at least 30 properties in the last six weeks since her landlord gave her notice, and her case was referred to the minister's office on Tuesday 11 October as urgent. However, the minister's office sent through an acknowledgement on 12 October, but she has not heard back since. 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) (14:59): Thanks for the question. I will follow through and get you an answer and bring it back to the house. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Gibson, and I observe this is only the fourth question from government members in question time today.
