Housing Trust

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:37): A supplementary—and I can advise the minister that the details are being provided to her office—does the minister know of any other cases of people being evicted late on a Friday; and does her department have a policy of evicting on Fridays, noting that services are not available over the weekend?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:38): I think the honourable member misunderstands the situation because evictions are applied through the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, so cases are determined by them. They can decide whether somebody is evicted or not, and they are the organisation that actually makes the determinations about evictions.
