          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:48):</by>  I am not sure that we are able to provide any numbers about the number of private rentals. In fact, I think I have asked for that data from the Attorney-General, who is responsible for Consumer and Business Services—some of that data. I will ask whether there is any information available about private rental, but there are some firms such as CoreLogic, I understand, which monitor the overall percentage of vacancies both in capital cities and across the state, so that is publicly available information which is sort of a comparison.</text>
        <text id="202105129b11b0abdd3b4bbca0000213">In terms of the public system, we can try to get a point-in-time number for the honourable member, but there is also the community housing sector. I am not sure whether we have that data as well, but I will do my best to find it.</text>
