          <by role="member" id="5414">The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS:</by>  The early stages of the pandemic included lockdowns of remote Aboriginal communities under federal biosecurity laws, and the state government used the Baptist camp site in Mylor to house Aboriginal people who couldn't return to their homes. Over the last few months, the opposition has received feedback about the program. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="20210921fce723b3b5fe4438b0000304">1.&amp;#x9;Has there been any review of the effectiveness of the program at the Mylor site?</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:05):</by>  Thank you for your guidance, Mr President. In relation to the height of restrictions last year, indeed, as the honourable member has outlined, we did have a range of programs for a number of people in terms of making sure they were safe. As with all the public directions, it was about minimising the potential transmission between people and also trying to keep people safe. As I think I have outlined previously in this chamber, the Mylor camp was one such part of the response that we had that was specifically targeting women and children.</text>
        <text id="20210921fce723b3b5fe4438b0000309">I have not received a detailed briefing in terms of an evaluation about the efficacy of the Mylor camp. I certainly don't think I have received any formal complaints about it, but I will see what other information I can obtain from the South Australian Housing Authority, who contracted Baptist Care to run that particular camp, and see what I can provide to the chamber.</text>
