Question Time

Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): My question is to the Minister for Human Services. The Premier Steven Marshall has said that he and his government will deliver every promise in his 100-day plan. An essential element of this plan is to:

…engage the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute to audit the state's current housing assets and map future demand.

My questions to the minister are:

1. As promised, has the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute been engaged to conduct this audit?

2. What is the cost of the promised Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute audit?

3. Has the engagement satisfied all relevant policies?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:25): I thank the honourable member for his question. This is, indeed, one of our 100-day commitments and it will be fulfilled. I will provide more information on the public record when that becomes available.
