Housing SA Tenancies

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (14:54): My question is again to the Minister for Social Housing. In the minister's answers to questions yesterday, she stated, in relation to the safe disposal of rubbish program, that providing individual bins would cost $6,000 for Rosslyn Court. What is the specific cost of providing the bin enclosure that she referred to, any moneys paid to KESAB and the education component of the program?

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) (14:54): Once again, I welcome the member for Schubert's interest in bins and for Housing SA tenants. This issue was raised with us—

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned a second and final time.

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON: —that there was an issue with illegal dumping in one of the Housing SA properties. Housing SA worked together with the Unley council, who raised this issue, and with KESAB to come up with a solution. One of the key issues we had was that there were not individual bins and outside people had access to those shared bins—as they were. We found a solution to this issue and we had a bin contain—we have bin contains and we have individual bins now and KESAB work with people about things to do with recycling.
