The Hon. E.S. BOURKE: What representation have you made to your federal counterparts regarding South Australian budget cuts through the federal government?

The PRESIDENT: Order! Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Homelessness funding is already provided through the National Housing and Homelessness Agreement, so South Australia receives a budget allocation which is going towards homelessness providers in South Australia already.
