Housing SA Tenancies

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:34): A supplementary question: can the minister give me a breakdown as to why they are vacant and the exact number? You have given 2.7 per cent. Are they waiting to be sold? Are they waiting to be demolished? Are they waiting for maintenance? Why are they vacant?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Who interjected: 'Because there's no-one in them'?

The Hon. J.R. RAU: That's the usual cause of vacancy.

The SPEAKER: I call the Deputy Premier to order. The minister.

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) (14:34): I just answered that question: that's 1,095.
