          <by role="member" id="5244">The Hon. J.E. HANSON:</by>  Harrow House is a home to people with an intellectual disability. It was first developed after the Harrow Trust signed a deed of covenant with the South Australian Housing Trust, the owner of the land, back in 2010. In November last year, the minister received correspondence from representatives of families of people who live at Harrow House. After seven months the opposition is advised that the only reply has been a generic acknowledgment.</text>
        <text id="202106108a8fa4a9d2914343b0000149">Harrow House stands on Housing Trust land, but some families contributed tens of thousands of dollars to secure long-term tenure at the home, and many residents have ageing parents and this was a critical safety net to make sure that their children had a safe and secure home when they were gone. Harrow is a supported residential facility and six residents are now facing eviction. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="202106108a8fa4a9d2914343b0000150">1.&amp;#x9;Given the minister has responsibility for the SA Housing Trust, disability services and the Supported Residential Facilities Act, why hasn't the minister responded, and who else is better placed to handle this issue?</text>
        <text id="202106108a8fa4a9d2914343b0000151">2.&amp;#x9;Why does the exemption put in place by the minister continue to be in place, obliterating the residents' rights under the SRF Act, yet she fails to intervene to protect those rights?</text>
