          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:06):</by>  I thank the honourable member for that question. I don't think I have an answer on that but I would have to say that there is probably a reallocation of the management of complaints in the sense that the less complaints, about the neighbour's barking dog, will not be matters for the Housing Authority to manage into the future. We will be looking at the most serious ones and I would assume that if those lesser matters—which should not have been, in my view, managed by Housing—such as neighbour issues fall away then we have more resources to devote to the more serious matters.</text>
