Housing Trust

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:34): Considering that the minister has already indicated—

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Is this a supplementary or a new question?

The PRESIDENT: A supplementary.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Yes; on the issue of the accessibility of the houses. The minister mentioned 1,000 homes in 1,000 days. Could the minister bring that information back to the chamber in the context of the bill which we will be considering later today, when the minister has already indicated the government will be supporting universal design principles?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:34): What is the question, sorry?

The Hon. S.G. WADE: The information she asked: can you bring it back in the context of the bill?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: As indicated, I will bring that response back to the house as soon as I possibly can.

The Hon. S.G. Wade: Okay, we'll expect the answer in the committee stage; expect the question at the committee stage.

The PRESIDENT: The Leader of the Opposition, if you want to show true regard for the position you hold, either put on your jacket or hang your jacket up in the closet. One of my colleagues has reminded me of that and I just thought I would bring it to your attention.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Carry on; I'll put it on.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wade.
