Affordable Housing

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:02): Supplementary arising from the original answer: if this is a national matter, how can the minister account for South Australia lagging further behind other states? What is going on here in SA? We have had Labor governments for 26 of the last 40 years. What are you doing wrong?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:02): I thank the honourable member for the question. As I said, it is an issue that is affecting and afflicting every state in the Commonwealth of Australia. The honourable member will have seen many initiatives that have already been released, and there will be more to come. I will be happy to get a response that will outline and detail a number of initiatives this Labor government has taken in relation to it.
