Housing Trust Properties

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:27): Thank you. A further supplementary: when the minister is seeking clarification over the figure, could he please confirm that, for the 479 homes transferred to Anglicare, there was an $8 million repair and maintenance backlog which was expected to be reduced over 10 years, and that the 609 homes that were transferred to Junction had an $11 million repair and maintenance backlog which is expected to be extinguished over three years?

The SPEAKER: I have raised this with the member for Adelaide before, but a supplementary is supposed to arise from the content of the minister's answer. The member for Adelaide has just read her question off a mobile phone, which rather undermines the claim of spontaneity.

Mr GARDNER: Point of order, sir: I realise that you are not familiar with the way that modern technology works, but people actually use phones to write notes these days.

The Hon. J.M. Rankine interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Wright is warned, as is the member for Morialta for an entirely bogus point of order. Deputy Premier.

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:29): Mr Speaker, I think I did, as you so insightfully summarised a moment ago, provide an answer to that question before, and the consequent question is in fact a further interrogation of the first question to which I have already given an answer, which is I will get an answer. I don't have a random question generator available to me, nor a random answer generator.
