Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Supplementary question arising from the answer: has the minister met anyone from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute and, in particular, has the minister ever met Mr Tony De Domenico?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:30): If you give me two seconds, I will be able to tell you who I have met from the organisation who is an employee. I do regret using the name of people on the public record; I think it is generally not a practice that one should follow, because I don't want them to be smeared or in any way associated with this line of questioning.

I met a lady by the name of Cherylann Biegler, who is the business development manager of AHURI, last year. In fact, I met her at the offices of Shelter SA. Shelter SA would be well-known to a number of people in this chamber as an organisation which is involved in advocacy on behalf of a range of housing issues in South Australia. That is where I first met Cherylann and I had a subsequent meeting with her after that. She is the only person I have met from AHURI.
