HOUSING SA

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:58): My question is to the Minister for Social Housing. Can the minister advise how many properties Housing SA is currently scheduled to sell this financial year; and was minister Hunter correct when he said last year that 793 properties would be sold, up from 642 in the last 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) (14:59): I thank the member for the question. Can he perhaps clarify what he means by his question?

Dr McFETRIDGE: I am more than happy to repeat the question.

The SPEAKER: No, do not repeat the question.

Dr McFETRIDGE: According to minister Hunter, he advised the parliament in November last year that 793 properties would be sold, up from 642 in the previous financial year.

The SPEAKER: Does that help?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: Probably not, Mr Speaker. I don't have the exact figures in front of me, but I am happy to get those figures for you. If the member is referring to our plan to work with the social housing sector, certainly we have plans to provide some housing to the social housing sector for social housing.
