Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Housing Trust Properties Housing Trust Properties The Hon. J.S. LEE Legislative Council Housing Trust Properties The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:55): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, representing the Minister for Housing, regarding Housing Trust homes. Leave granted. The Hon. J.S. LEE Legislative Council The Hon. J.S. LEE: An Adelaide mother recently reported health issues after moving into a Housing Trust property at West Beach, later discovering it had been used to manufacture methamphetamine. She states she was not informed of the property's history and experienced symptoms consistent with chemical exposure. In a separate case a 74-year-old woman was placed in a similarly contaminated Housing Trust home despite an independent report warning of danger to occupants. She remained in the property for months without relocation or support and only after media involvement were options discussed. These cases raise serious concerns about Housing Trust processes for remediation, disclosure and tenant safety. My questions to the minister are: 1.	What is the current process for identifying and remediating Housing Trust properties previously used for illicit drug manufacturing before they are reallocated? 2.	Are prospective tenants informed of a property's contamination history and the results of any decontamination efforts? 3.	What mechanisms are in place to ensure that concerns raised directly by Housing Trust tenants about unsafe or unsuitable housing are addressed promptly, without the need for media intervention? The Hon. E.S. BOURKE Legislative Council Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Minister for Autism Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Autism) (14:57): I thank the member for her question and am happy to get a response from the minister in the other place.
