          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:41):</by>  We don't assess their incomes. I don't know whether HomeStart would have some of the data in relation to some of the ones who have been purchasing through HomeStart. As I have said in public before, I am not going to be giving advice to people about what sort of income they need to service a loan, because there are a whole lot of other factors that are involved in this, which include people's outgoings, which are very important as to whether they service a loan, and they need to get that professional advice.</text>
