          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31):</by>  A supplementary arising from the answer: we have been informed that there has been no contact with this particular person, who will soon be evicted into homelessness despite the minister's assurances that that is not what will happen because that is what her department tells her. My question is: what exactly has the minister herself done to ensure that this vulnerable person is not evicted into homelessness? What has she done?</text>
