SIMMS (15:09):</by>  Supplementary: is the minister concerned about reports of women being housed in temporary accommodation, such as dodgy hotels, that may not be able to appropriately ensure their safety? The minister referenced the range of housing solutions. I am interested to know whether she is concerned about the adequacy of accommodation currently available through the hotel system.</text>
