Housing Authority

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (15:05): My question is the Minister for Human Services regarding housing. Can the minister confirm public comments by her agency that the government will remove $1.354 billion—that's 'billion' not 'million'—from the South Australian Housing Authority over the five years to June 2023? Can the minister confirm public comments from her agency that, after cutting land tax for wealthy property investors, the Housing Authority will pay more than a billion dollars of land tax over the five years to June 2023?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:06): I thank the honourable member for her question. I am not sure of the context of either of those comments in which she has made those particular suggestions regarding the finances of the authority, so perhaps if she could clarify by way of a supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: I will allow that. The Hon. Ms Pnevmatikos.
