Housing Affordability

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:26): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Human Services regarding affordable housing.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Federal Labor recently announced an election commitment to improve housing supply by providing long-term affordable housing for low and middle income Australians through the construction of 250,000 new affordable homes. Has the Marshall government undertaken any modelling on how this scheme will benefit South Australians, and how many houses are expected to be added to the South Australian housing market based on this departmental modelling?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:27): No, we haven't.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: It is going to be hard to crank up a supplementary, but I will listen to it.
