Public Housing

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:11): I feel like I am going to ask my question again, but my supplementary is: when exactly was the policy first approved, when exactly did it first come into operation, and how many open inspections have occurred so far? You spoke for seven minutes; you didn't answer those questions.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:12): Seven minutes?

The PRESIDENT: The minister did not speak for seven minutes, but the minister will answer the supplementary.

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Let's see if she knows the simple details. I don't think she knows.

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: If the President was to be really indulgent, I could speak for the last seven minutes of question time about this topic.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: I will double-check when the policy was approved by the board because that's a formal process and I don't have that particular detail in front of me.

The PRESIDENT: I call the Hon. Ms Girolamo for her first question.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Ms Girolamo has the call.
