HANSON (14:50):</by>  Mr President, I hate to repeat myself: what economic analysis was performed so that the minister could come to the conclusion that anybody would actually be paying any more money in regard to Housing Trust rents full stop?</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:51):</by>  Yes, Mr President. I'm not sure that that is any different. Those who are in bedsit cottage flats will pay approximately $4 a week in the first two years and $2.68 extra until 2021. By the end of the increase they will be paying an additional $16.06 per week per year and that is before taking into account the CPI changes that will take place over time.</text>
        <text id="20180919f5373017d89b4a33a0000213">There are people who are in one-bedroom cottage flats who, again depending on their individual circumstances—this is just Newstart allowees, so these are the lowest Centrelink recipients—are paying $4.25 per week extra in the first two years and $2.83 per week until 2020. By the end of the exercise—no, I will leave that bit out because I'm not sure that it tallies up. The Housing Authority has calculated how much additional people will be paying. I can run through the other types of recipients, but I can also provide that information for the member if he is interested in a breakdown of those figures.</text>
