The South Australian Alliance to End Homelessness has called on the government to publish the data, which outlines annual client data by council area.</text>

COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services, Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well) (15:01):</by>  I thank the member for the question. There is data published by the Institute of Health and Welfare and also on the alliance's website for the Zero Project in the CBD. That particular data that was discussed yesterday was a breakdown of data presented by the specialist homelessness services to local governments to help them in their local responses. There are a number of data sources. We are happy to share information when people ask us. There was no secret data; the way that that article was couched was incorrect.</text>
