SA Housing Authority

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:49): My question is to the Minister for Human Services. Is the minister satisfied with the resolution of the concerns that have been raised at the SA Housing Trust property at Henley Beach? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TELFER: The opposition was contacted yesterday by a resident of the Henley Beach property to advise that the doors to the northern laundry block had been locked and keys had been provided for the southern block, which now has washing machines but no power. Residents are concerned that even if electricity is provided, only three machines will be available for tenants from at least 33 separate units.

The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services) (14:49): Thank you very much for the question.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The minister has the call.

The Hon. N.F. COOK: I will refer to my previous answer—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned.

The Hon. N.F. COOK: —in terms of the details that I have at hand. I am happy to follow up again directly following question time to see why or what situation you are reporting on.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Unley! Order!

The Hon. N.F. COOK: But I certainly followed this up today. I have been assured that there are washing machines available onsite for use—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned.

The Hon. N.F. COOK: —and I will follow that up again.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The number of interjections to my left of course are contrary to the standing orders.
