Public Housing

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (15:06): Supplementary: can the minister appreciate that vulnerable people, whose only crime is being poor and having a tough life, may feel somewhat under attack by the minister's language?

The PRESIDENT: That is a long bow as a supplementary, but I will allow you to respond, if you wish.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:07): I haven't been attacking anybody. We are just trying to improve the system for people who are on the waiting list.
