Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Supplementary, sir. Given that the minister has just made it clear that she has known about the potential need for relocation for the last three weeks, why has she only turned her mind to the relocation planning now?

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:31): It was clearly indicated from the EPA that this is a precaution: it is not an emergency. We are doing a suitable process of engaging with our tenants, and we will be relocating them over the next six months.
