What does she say to those people? Does she really think they are going to enjoy her partisan diatribe that she has given today, or does she have an answer about what—</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:25):</by>  The answer is yes and no. People who live in one-bedroom units are paying 25 per cent. People who live in one-bedroom cottage flats are currently paying 21 per cent, so there is an inequity between those who are paying 25 per cent and those who are paying less.</text>
        <text id="2018091940a8f2001bf2483880000059">In fact, we have had some inquiries via the call centre and to my office from people who may or may not have been misled by the Labor Party talking about people being charged a whole lot extra. When they have called us and it has been explained to them, they have said that's perfectly reasonable.</text>
