Rental Affordability

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:05): Supplementary question: noting the minister's reply, will the minister commit, on behalf of the government, to introduce a state-based rent subsidy scheme. I'm not talking about the federal scheme: will the minister commit to a state-based rent subsidy scheme?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:06): As I said in my original response, we already have the private rental assistance program.
