BROKENSHIRE: </by> I have received allegations from constituents that on occasions in the past and possibly also at this time members of outlaw motorcycle gangs are either living in Housing SA properties for which their spouse or domestic partner are the tenants or are indeed the tenants themselves. My questions are:</text>

        <text id="20120215309677a7461e4a1090000205">1.&amp;#x9;Does the minister know how many OMCG members are living in Housing SA properties?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3122">The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:53): </by> I have to say at the outset that we do not ask housing trust tenants or applicants when they apply for a housing trust property whether in fact they are a motorbike rider, whether in fact they are a member of an outlaw criminal gang, whether in fact they are stevedores or whether in fact they are members of the Port Adelaide Football Club. These are not things that we ask people when they come to see us and apply for a housing trust property. They are not things that are put on the application form and, quite frankly, even if we did ask if they were members of an outlaw motorcycle club, it is highly likely that they would not tell us.</text>
