HOUSING SA RENTAL INCREASES

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: Presented a petition signed by 101 residents of South Australia requesting the council to urge the government to:

1. Abandon the policy of Housing SA from March 2011 taking as rent the rental proportion of the pension increase that the federal government intended for pensioner retention as income; and

2. In future heed the wish of the federal minister in this regard.
