The PRESIDENT: I am not sure that comes out of the original answer but if the minister wants to respond, she can.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:57): We have certainly reduced the number of properties that are being sold by over 75 per cent.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: So those ones have sold. The growth—

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Zero. Just say zero. The growth is zero.

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.J. Maher: There's no growth if it's zero.

The PRESIDENT: Order! The minister will be allowed to answer uninterrupted.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: The growth in the social housing sector comes via the community housing sector.
