HOUSING SA AMNESTY

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): Supplementary question: can the minister tell the house how much unpaid rent in the last financial year to 30 June 2013 has been written off as a bad debt, and how much is expected to be written off in this financial year?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:20): In terms of actual amounts written off, it has not been written off yet, because there is a whole long process required with the Auditor-General and getting Treasury's approval, so we have not written off any income that has not been paid in that financial year.
