HOUSING SA

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:43): Given that the report the minister refers to was undertaken by Northern Connections, which the minister is responsible for, will he provide more information to the house about the way in which that agency conducted the report? That's yours; you can't hand that off.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:43): I don't intend to. As the honourable member has said, I am responsible for the Office of the North as, indeed, I am responsible for the Office of the South. The report, I understand, was commissioned and undertaken by the Office of the North. I am not aware of what details are in that report as it pertains to Housing SA's involvement in future development of those sites.

My understanding is that that report recommends that Housing SA, or its successor, the URA, should be involved in a substantial urban renewal program built around the significant transport corridors that are up there, particularly in terms of the rail connections but also the major roads infrastructure. As I said, that report has now been referred to the URA for a response and I will refer the supplementary, if the honourable member likes, also to that minister for a response.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wade has a supplementary.
