Hove Level Crossing

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:47): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding housing.

1. Can the minister explain why there was time to design, prepare, approve, print and deliver a glossy Liberal Party pamphlet about the cancellation of the Hove crossing project, but it was apparently impossible to tell housing tenants that the project was cancelled?

2. Why did the ABC report last night that the public housing residents still hadn't heard from the minister or the Housing Authority?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:48): In relation to the Housing Authority, my understanding is that they were attempting to contact residents as soon as possible; they were either attempting to contact people in person or on the phone as soon as possible. I'm not familiar with the brochure that the honourable member is referring to.

The Hon. E.S. Bourke: Here—it looks a bit like this.

The PRESIDENT: No props.
