Housing SA Tenancies

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Social Housing. Can the minister outline, as per her answer yesterday, whether the policy review that she's initiated into tenants renting out rooms is in relation to how the department investigates potential breaches or is the review into potential deficiencies in Housing Trust tenancy agreements?

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) (14:53): I thank the member for Schubert for his question and welcome his interest in social housing. When I said there would be an investigation, that is taking place. What I indicated yesterday is that, when issues like this arise, I think it is important for us to contemporise any of our policies to make sure that they cover any incidents that may not have been covered previously.
