Public Housing

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:10): I will be very swift, thank you, Mr President. Of the $10 million which has been brought forward, how much of that as a percentage or an amount has been spent?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:10): The works are almost complete, so if anybody understands how these things work in terms of contracts and maintenance, some of the invoices may not have been issued but the works I understand are, if not complete, very close to complete, which is the main issue because that means that the tenants have the benefit of that $10 million and the tradies have the benefit of knowing that that income is coming in.
