Hove Level Crossing
The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:39): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding housing. After her denial in this place yesterday that Housing Trust residents went through hell over the debacle that was the Hove crossing backflip, what does the minister have to say to Michelle Grobel who said on ABC TV last night that there was no doubt the stress contributed to her mother's death?
The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:40): Can I repeat the remarks that I made yesterday that we do apologise as a government for any distress that has been caused to any tenants and their families through this process. We made every attempt, in terms of relocations, to provide people with—and we did allow ourselves a reasonably lengthy time. The rationale for that means that people were given as many options as possible. As we know, we have relocated several tenants and they will have the option of returning home.
