Homelessness

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:41): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding homelessness. Minister, what message does it send to the community when the government is barely one month into a new homelessness system, which included slashing millions from critical inner city homelessness services, when your chief executive tries to shut down or shove off a CBD volunteer service?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:42): The basis for that question is factually incorrect.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Lee has the call.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! I would ask people not to have these conversations across the chamber.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order, the honourable leader of the opposition! The Hon. Jing Lee was on her feet, and I ask her to take that position again.
