Housing SA Waiting List

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (16:07): I do; thank you, Mr Speaker. A supplementary. Can the minister tell the house why, on the Housing SA website, it says it is impossible to tell how long you will be on a waiting list no matter what priority you are?

The Hon. J.M. Rankine interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Education is the first member warned in the Fifty-Third Parliament. Minister for Social Housing.

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, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (16:07): Once again, I thank the member for his question. As you know, we have a category one waiting list for social housing and that category is determined by people whose needs are most vulnerable and, therefore, the needs of those who are vulnerable and the number of people who are vulnerable will change from day to day.
