Homelessness

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before I ask the Minister for Human Services a question regarding homelessness.

Leave granted.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: Minister, the Opposition understands that your chief executive has represented to the Sparkke at the Whitmore that she has your approval to be a director while also the CE of the Department of Human Services. My question, minister, is when exactly did your chief executive gain your approval to be a director of Sparkke at the Whitmore?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:31): There is a pecuniary interest document that I think probably all public servants, certainly chief executives, need to sign. I was made aware, I can't remember exactly what date it was, and, yes, I did agree to it.
