          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:19):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding housing. Minister, How many weeks ago did you first learn that the Hove crossing project was being cancelled and when exactly were frontline staff dealing with public housing tenants advised?</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:20):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. As he is aware, as part of the 2021-22 state budget, the government announced the cancellation of the Hove rail crossing project. As at 22 June 2021, the authority had relocated a number of tenants with, I am advised, seven to be relocated. At the time, the last tenant had been relocated on 19 June and the authority was unaware of the decision to cancel the Hove rail crossing project. I have been kept abreast of this issue via cabinet. Cabinet is a confidential process and so the authority was aware of this matter as of the bringing down of the budget.</text>
